any chance of a recolor of Entebbe C-130 in 1/33 scale or advise on how to do it with 1/48 version?

[airdave]

1/33 would be extremely BIG Joe.
1/48 is 33" wingspan.
So, 1/33 would be 48"!

You would have to print at 145%
But obviously the parts won't fit onto Letter page.
Maybe Staples or another printer can print on larger stock?

I think Letter enlarged 145% would require 12"x 16" area.

Thanks,here Office Max is only selection and 11"x 17"" is the most cost effective, the only other choice is to buy a fly model from germany used at close to $100 which includes frames and post!

its probably a better option to just get your local print shop to do it for you rather than invest in another printer,works for me

ok, experts, I downloaded the C-47 Rose recolor and printed it to fit 11"x 17" paper what will be the scale model size?

err.... 1/23 and half scale HO plus


....
first, paper size has absolutely nothing to do with enlargement or reduction scale,
but more importantly, why are you asking this in my C-130 thread?


....
assuming the original file is 8/5" x 11" page, it does not directly scale up to 11 x 17,
so theres no way to know the scale without knowing the percentage enlargement.
(8.5" x 11" fits better on 11" x 14", but not perfectly)

8.5" to 11" enlargement is about 129% scale up.
you could apply that to figure out the scale of the model.
(but you need to know the original scale of the model)

....
you haven't even revealed the scale of the model.
why am I helping you with this?
what has this got to do with my Hercules kits?
