Is it 54mm or 60mm? (1 Viewer)

[BK Trade]

I noticed on the side of the WS101 box the following statement: "King & Country designs and manufactures many different ranges of all-metal, hand-painted miniature figures - both military and civilian. To complement these 1:32 scale collectable figurines we also provide an ever-expanding collection of fighting vehicles and display buildings."
I always thought K&C did 1:32 scale in the beginning with the glossy figures, but changed after that period to 1:30 scale???

What scale does 70mm to 80mm come out too ?

90mm is close to 1/20th, so 70mm and 80mm would be a little smaller, expressed as a scale.

Prost!

This has been a topic before, so the gist is that K&C started as "lagre 54mm" and gradually evolved into the 60-ish mm figures we know today. The APPROXIMATE vehicle scale is usually expressed as 1:30 ratio. However, scale is simply an inconvenience to K&C. They operate under "close is good enough", so the collector can too. Some different brands of 1:30 vehicle look just right with K&C and some don't.

I think 75mm is 1/24

What scale does 70mm to 80mm come out too ?

The conversion is reasonably straightforward:
For 1:32 scale the conversion equation used is; 1/32 = .03125 x Actual dimension (converted to inches). One inch equals 2.54 cm or 25.4mm

For 1:48 substitute 0. 02083
For 1:30 substitute 0.33333
For 1:24 substitute 0.04166

Conversely for :
54mm = 54mm ÷ 25.4mm = 2.126in. = 1:28 scale
(For a person 6’ (72in) tall ÷ 2.126in = 28 or 1:28)

60mm = 60mm ÷ 25.4mm = 2.362in. = 1:25 scale
(For a person 6’ (72in) tall ÷ 2.362 = 2.54 or 1:25)

That is the actual dimension in feet (meters) ÷ the scale dimension in inches (mm) equals the denominator of the scale, with one (1) as the numerator.

Not that its relevant other than my own recall abilities, but I used to be able to calculate fractional exponents (used to scale nuclear weapon yield(kilotons) to an equivalent TNT detonation (tons).

Maybe someone can use this calculator:
