Indicative values (variants may differ). For precise conversion, use the calculator below.
Vehicle type | Real length | Model length 1:87 |
---|---|---|
Zetor 4011 (tractor) | ≈ 3.50 m | ≈ 4.02 cm |
T 815 (concrete mixer) | ≈ 7.60 m | ≈ 8.74 cm |
Ambulance KQ 145 | ≈ 4.80 m | ≈ 5.52 cm |
Utility vehicle (small bus) | ≈ 10.00 m | ≈ 11.49 cm |
Formula: model = real / 87
(m→m). To display cm: multiply by 100.
A model is 87× smaller than the real machine. For example, 8.70 m equals 10.00 cm in 1:87.
Yes. H0 is the railway scale corresponding to 1:87 and is widely used by modellers.
Use the calculator above. Basic relation: model length (m) = real length (m) / 87.
