What is the scale of the original sheets if printed in A4?

Thank you Jorg37, Rifleman, Spgifford and Viator for stopping by.

When I printed the original per page each section of the deck measured 13.5 cm, so an overall deck of 27 cm. The original Saar 2 had an overall length of 45 m so around 1/167. But each printer is different and I printed them in Letter size not A4. I presume that in A4 it would be slightly larger bringing the scale down to closer to N scale or 1/160. If you want the boat in your preferred scale of 1/300 you will need to reduce it to 56%. I also toned down the original color to light gray.
Just remember old carpenter proverb: Mesure twice cut once.
