Die Cast Cars, How big is 1/43 scale?

Question

in centimeters if possible thanx

Answer 1

If the real car is 430 inches long, then the die cast 1/43 car would be 10 inches long.

Answer 2

1 43 Diecast Cars

Answer 3

A 1/43 model of a F1 car will be between 8 - 10 cm.

Answer 4

Not very big as it is 43 times smaller than a full size. To give you an idea, the little matchbox cars are 1/64th scale.

Answer 5

Hi:

what 1/43 scale means that for every 1 on the scale model equals 43 inches in the real world model.

for example :

a Real farm silo is 100 feet high and a model is to be made for it at 1/43 scale. How big will our model be?

Okay first thing to do is convert 100 feet into inches { remember 1 foot = 12 inches} So :

100 #### 1 { ignore the # there for postion things here they
----- =##----- # { nothing to do with this problem }
x ##### 12


100*12= 1x

or 100 *12 = x

120 inches = x

Now divide the 120 inches of the real world silo by 43 to get the scaled model inches like so:

120/43 = 2.790698 inches ( I rounded it to 6 decimal place here )

so it about 2 and 13/16 of a inch here

So are model of the silo will be 2 and 13/16 inches


He my explaination of a scale for someone who ask this very question :

First off let start by explain what a scale is a Scale is a ratio of two sizes . It is way to put something that is too big or too small in the real world to a size that we humans can relate to for example Let say a Saturn V rocket is 309 feet tall to make a 1/12 scale model of it. first we know the real rocket is 309 feet. on our model scale 1inch equal 12 inches or 1 foot so:

309/12 = 25.75 or 25 and 3/4 inches

our scale model of the Saturn V rocket is 25.75 inches or slightly larger then 2 feet tall (actually 2 feet 1 3/4 inches tall)

Somethings are too small in the real world ( like pocket watch gears or electronic parts) So we use a enlarging scale and it written like this 4/ 1 or 1 inch equals 4 inches for example a gear is 1/8" in diameter in the real world would be drawn on a blueprint drawing with the scale 4 to 1 the gear is drawn at 1/2 inch diameter or 4 times it's actual size

1/8 * 4/1 = 4/8= 1/2 inches

the way to remember a scale is what place is the 1 units in relation to the scaling value or division sign or " :" symbol if the 1 is in front of the division sign or ":" symbol your dealing with a reduction factor with means that the model or drawing is going to be smaller than the actual object itself

If the 1 unit is in back of the division or ":" symbol with number greater than 1 in the front your deal with a enlarging factor meaning the drawing is bigger the the actual size of the object itself


Okay let's see what the answer is, for your problem:

let say your measuring a real rod that is 4.7 mm and your scale on a drawing of this rod is 2.5 :1 what is the drawing scale lenght of this rod is:

rule 1: where is the 1 in relation to the scale value?

answer: behind it. So we are dealing with a enlargement drawing

So set the problem as follows:

4.7 *2.5 = 11.75 mm

The drawing scale measured rod lenght is 11.75 mm or the rod real lenght is 4.7 mm

I hope this helps you

Answer 6

1/43 scale is modeled to "O" scale trains.. 4" is the true actual size to real life measurement. Link below shows actual model at scale

Answer 7

a million:18 scale potential a million/18th of the unique vehicle length, if the unique vehicle replaced into 20 ft long the die solid could be 13.34 inches long a a million:40 3 scale die solid could be in basic terms 5.fifty 9 inches long.

Answer 8

Between 8 and 10 cm depending on the car.

Answer 9

tiny 1/43 is 2.5 cm to every 43 cm in real life so if the real car was 4 m long then your toy would be 9.3 cm long.

Answer 10

very very very smalll. i draw houses at 1/4- one fourth the actual size. the car is one forty third the actualy size, thats tiny. shrink a car 43 times the size of a real one
