Photo of HUNT Type 1 models at 1:300, 1:600, and 1:1200 scales.

Suggestions:

1:600 -- 50 ft. per inch, producing models about 5.5 inches/15cms long --
or 1:700 (which would be 1/2 the length of 1:350 on the Scale Selector)
is a good length for a beginning cardstock shipmodeler.

Also, begin by building a gun turret rather than the hull ...
making as many tries as necessary until you are satisfied.
This is a MUCH faster, simpler, and more satisfying way
to begin learning cardstock construction.

• NOTE: Download these files and bring them back up with an independent viewer. Printing them directly off of Netscape cuts off most of the drawings, for some reason. Then enlarge/reduce the drawings (as scale requires) onto the cardstock from which you intend to construct your model.
