scale size tips

[anthonyh276]

Need some help finding or tips on scratch building a single aircraft WWII hangar for a 1/72 corsair. i found a 1/700 and a 1/87 hangar would any of these work? i have been trying to do some research but can't seem to find usable scales on other scales.

any thing helps

thanks.

Blow the 1/700 plans you found by 10x. Someone else will have to chime in the actual percentage (I want to say 1000%, but some how that seems like to big a number - I don't enlarge much on a copier incase you couldn't tell )

here is a few links that might help
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/32861279/AIRCRAFT---HANGAR---SIZE-CHART
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangar

wiki classifies the structures as such.

Structures and sizes

Hangars need special structures to be built. The width of the doors have to be large; this includes the aircraft entrance. The bigger the aircraft to be introduced, the more complex a structure is needed. According to the span of the hangar, sizes can be classified thus:


Size

Span (meters)

S Less than 30 m
M 30–60 m
L 60–90 m
XL 90–120 m
XXL More than 120 m

XXL hangars are built for the largest aircraft in the world, for example:[4] the Airbus A380, Boeing 747 and the Antonov 225. Such structures are the most complex to erect.

so at a small size hangar of 25mX25m would measure 0.3472mX0.3472m @ 1:72 scale.
hope this helps

This was a very good read it. Last, it provides more detailed information. It's good to know very much more with it.
