Model Forum / General / Models / October 2005A Question of scale Regarding eBay Item number: 6005013267
Hello, Pardon the interruption. After some 50 years any hopes of completing this model are gone so it is off to eBay. Item number: 6005013267 The scale question was asked by someone looking on eBay. Can any one help to clarify the question, what scale is this truck? 1907 Mack 7-Ton Truck Premier's KIT# 1263-98 Great GIFT Item number: 6005013267 Thank you have fun >Can any one help to clarify the question, what scale is this truck?

The seller gave the width of the radiator as 0.231 thou. I'm assuming the measurement is actually a decimel not thousanths as 0.231 thou would convert as 0.0058674 millimetres. The measurement as a decimel means the radiator is a shade over 5 mm thick If this is the case I suspect it puts the kit somewhere around 1/32nd scale. HI, The correct size as measured in decimal inches = 0.231 or fraction 231/1000 inch. Yes this would be slightly larger than 5mm ( 5 millimeters = 0.196850394 inch), closer to 6mm (.231 inch = 5.8674 millimeters) Knowing the actual width of the chromed radiator on the full scale truck would be helpfulin determining the scale. > HI, > The correct size as measured in decimal inches = 0.231 or fraction [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Knowing the actual width of the chromed radiator on the full scale > truck would be helpfulin determining the scale. Looking at the model it seems to me that the radiator is around twice as deep as that on, for example, a Ford Model T which is 3" wide. On a 1/32nd scale model the Model T part would be 2.25 mm wide which means at 6mm wide the truck part could be somewhere beween 1/30th to 1/32nd scale. Either way it looks like a nice little model. Knowing the wheel diameter would be a useful guide to the scale. Scott? >Scott?

It has by far the highest value of any Premier model, at an estimated 60 to 80 dollars.
