The Scale of a model is not always stated on the model or packaging. Now you can calculate this if you compare the measurements of the model with the measurements of the 1: 1 model, the real car. Not everyone has a Rolls-Royce or Maserati in the carport, so that is not easy.

A scale is indicated with a colon. (:) This is pronounced as 'in relation to' or 'in proportion to'.

You will also see a scale that is indicated with a forward slash (/). This is a divider and has nothing to do with 'state to'.

Please enter the scale with a colon, this way we keep the catalog neat and tidy.

Please use numbers only, not letters.

That's not how it should be. (Look in the history of this item to see how the scale was entered incorrectly before.) Link will be made asap, I can't find the example I'm looking for.

Update input lines.

Enter the Scale always with colon .

To maintain unity in the Catawiki catalog, all other shapes are rejected.

  • 1/43 is not correct and will be rejected.
  • 1-43 is incorrect and will be rejected.
  • etc.

  • 1:43 is correct.

Length 4050 mm. So scale 1:72


P.S. Searched for BMW Z3 you get 58 results. If you then click on "more" in the left column at Scale, you will get this pop-up:




What kind of ratio is "Coca-Cola"?
