Photo Etch for Prince of Wales 1/570 Scale
Posted by Marcus McBean on Friday, October 3, 2014 7:00 PM

I have Revell of Germany 1/570 scale HMS Prince of Wales.  I cannot seem to fine any P.E. for it except for W.E. and G.M.M in the 1/600 scale for the Aixfix model.  I have yet to work with a P.E. kit for another scale, think either P.E. kit would work on the Revell?

There is about a 5% difference in the scales. Personally I do limit any kitbashing with greater than 5%, that is just at the limit.  Also, I find smaller parts like PE stuff is less noticable in terms of scale differences than with big parts.  Also, with detail parts, I would rather see the details undersize than over size, and the 600 scale stuff would be slightly undersize.
