Everything you need to know about 1/43 and 1/48 scale models

Why choose a 1/43 or 1/48 scale model?

A 1/48 scale model means that it is 48 times smaller than the real thing. Of course, the same applies to a 1/43 scale model. However, for some time now, the 1/48 scale has become increasingly common for making models, particularly aircraft models. Among other things, this scale makes it possible to design a model with greater detail.

For collectors, a 1/48 scale model is perfect for putting on a shelf. For example, a 1/48 scale model of a Second World War fighter plane is 20 cm long. For fans of challenges, you can build a model of a flying fortress.
