Diecast Scale Collector’s Resource Platform

Got a question about diecast items that usually have scale measurements. How long is 1/32 scale?

And how long is 1:64 scale? Please indicate in inches or feet…

Scale isn’t a measurement, it’s a ratio. So if your model at 1/32 scale is 2 inches long, the original item is 2*32 or 64 inches long, which is 5 feet 4 inches.

Do the same math for 1/64.

This comes in handy on maps also, where the scale can be 1 inch to 1 mile, 100 miles, or more. You can measure on the map how may inches and then just multiply.
