Modeling Subjects Ships

If the Hunley was 39.5’ long, 4’ wide, how many inches would that be in 1/32nd scale? Does anyone know? Im really bad at math…LOL

Pat

The Hunley sub were talking about here.

when are you yanks going to convert to metres (LOL) - here goes! I assume the measurements you’ve given are for the 1/1 Hunley (what ever that is!)

L39.5feet = 474inches (in 1/1 scale), so 474 divide by 32 = 14.8125incles (in 1/32scale)

W4feet = 48inches (in 1/1scale), so 48 divide by 32 = 1.5inches (in 1/32scale)

I don’t know if this is right cos I don’t know the sub Hunley (I must be having one of those mental blocks!!!) Never seen a photo of it with someone standing next to it, so It’s hard for me to get a mental picture of the size!

Hope this helps Pat!
