I'm not sure where your getting the 60% value. According to the info on the original model from FG, it is already at 1:46 scale, close but no cigar.
I want it at 1:48 scale so I have to print it a "tiny bit" smaller, because 1:48 is smaller than the existing 1:46 size of the supplied version.
If I look at the two numbers I have to deal with, 46 and 48. How would I divide these 2 numbers to get a number a little smaller than 1?
If I divide 48 by 46 I get 1.04 or 104%.------ 1.04 is BIGGER than 1.
If I divide 46 by 48 I get .958 or 95.8%. ----- .958 is smaller than 1.
Remember I'm looking for the "smaller" number in this case.
So I set my printer to reduce the PDF file to 96%, or 95.8% if your printer will allow it, and it prints at 1:48 scale.
Does this explanation make sense to you? I don't mean to sound like I'm talking down to you, as I'm not sure where your value of 60% came from.
