thought i would share this scale converter i made real quick to easily figure measurements for a project i am planning. if you have a better one share it if you please, if you like this one feel free to use it!

note: inches conversion kinda needs help but it was a quick one

oh and i am not sure if this thread goes here, sorry if it is in the wrong spot.

no closest it gets is 1:18. the app on my phone lets me type in what scale i want. I used this one mostly doing the 1/24 scale trucks....

14th scale

21.77mm = 1 foot
0.857 inch = 1 foot

I use a simple pocket calculater for quick figuring.

Not bad. I once broke the number 1 down by 32 in increments. I now use that table as my guide. I simply take the 1:1 measurement, multiply it by 12, divide it by 14, and then either round it up or down to the nearest measurement on my chart. It gives me a close enough measurement to be accurate without scrutiny. :D:D:D

Here is the scale calculator I use. All kinds of scales, metric or imperial. And now I don't even have to be online to use it. Works great

i do believe that tamiya is 1/14.3 scale and/or 7/8ths scale
so 1 foot is .875
