Product Info

Eighty years ago, six Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers flew from RAF Manston to attack the three German capital ships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen making a dash up the English Channel in February 1942. This heroic attack was doomed to failure and all the Swordfish were shot down without any damage to the enemy ships. Lieutenant Commander Esmonde won a posthumous Victoria Cross and only 5 of the aircrew survived.

    Understanding Scale

    The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.

    Model Cars:

    • 1:12 scale: ~38 cm or 15 inches
    • 1:18 scale: ~25 cm or 10 inches
    • 1:24 scale: ~18 cm or 7 inches
    • 1:43 scale: ~10 cm or 4 inches
    • 1:64 scale: ~7 cm or 2.75 inches
    • 1:76 scale: ~6 cm or 2.3 inches

    Model Trucks:

    • 1:12 scale: ~75 cm or 29.5 inches
    • 1:18 scale: ~50 cm or 19.7 inches
    • 1:24 scale: ~38 cm or 15 inches
    • 1:43 scale: ~21 cm or 8.3 inches
    • 1:64 scale: ~14 cm or 5.5 inches
    • 1:76 scale: ~12 cm or 4.7 inches

    Model Bikes:

    • 1:6 scale: ~30 cm or 12 inches
    • 1:10 scale: ~18 cm or 7 inches
    • 1:12 scale: ~15 cm or 6 inches
