1/350 and 1/400

mate, in answering your question in a short word - yes! Now that depends on two things: 1) how picky you are with making your collection accurate as can be, and 2)whether you are going to build dioramas. I have a 1/350 Ohio & Oscar Class sub's but I had a 1/400 Typhoon Sub from Revell. Now seeing that the Typhoon is the mother-of-all-subs, when that 1/400 Typhoon is placed next to it's 1/350 SSGN sistership, it's actually smaller. If my memory serves me correctly, in scale talk, a 1/400 Typhoon is approx 6cm's (divide 6 by 2.54 for the US inches) smaller in length than a 1/350 Typhoon. Naturally I converted my sub (with great difficulty) to a 1/350 scale. Subs are easy to covert to slightly different scales, but with ships you just can't do that. Hope this helps!

Those scales don´t mix, the diference is big.
Maybe if you put them on different shelfs it could work better.
I collect 1/350 ships and there are 1/400 ships i would love to by, but the
diference between them dont let me do it.
I have 1/700 and 1/720 ships also, and i can see the small diference, and it had allways bug my head, those small litle diferences.
All of this is because i like an accurate size wen i put them side by side.
But that its just me.

i'm not going to build dioramas..i'm just gonna put them in display shelves.
i have a friend who put a 1/300 miniture figures of deck crews on a 1/350 tamiya enterprise carrier and he said that you couldn't notice the difference in scale.

so would it be really a "no-no" to mix the 2 scales (1/350 and 1/400) ????

tnx for the replies.

About figures and ships there is a huge diference.
5 feet divided by 350 is 0,017
5 feet divided by 300 is 0,020 - its 0,003 dif. +/- ( 0,9 mm or 0,035 inch )
But :
800 feet divided by 350 is 2,285
800 feet divided by 300 is 2,666 - its 0,381 feet dif. +/- (11,5 cm or 4,5 inch ).
However i think you should by it anyway, i have 1/350 and 1/700 ships. 2 diferent scale collections.
What i mean is that they are diferent scales only.
I can tell you that 1/400 scale have interesting ships, the german Prinz eugen, for exemple.
best regards

sorry, its not 5 feet but 6 divided by 350 and 300.

thanks for all the ideas..i finally made my decision to only buy both 1/350 and 1/400 scale ships.
