Doing another airliner this week with Atlantis' reboxing of the old Aurora 727 kit in 1/96th scale
Curious scale - maybe from the days of box scale. Love those three engine birds but wow - the landing gear!!! I'll have to pass on that one. I did the Minicraft 727 in 1:144 USPS livery.
Thanks,
John
Well, 1/96 makes some sense in English measurements - 1 inch equals 8 feet. 1/192, 1 inch equals 16 feet, is still a common 'museum' scale for ships.
Ha - like English measurements make sense..... lol. And here in the US we still don't do metric.

1:96 is a long established scale, part of a series sometimes known as architure scales. They are mutiples of 12, so they are easily worked as so many inches, or fractions of, an inch, 1:12 is one inch per foot, 1:24 is a hakf inch per foot. 1:96 is 1/8 inches per foot. Very popular among ship modelers. !:144 is, of course, also im the series, 1/12 inch per foot.
