    Hi guys, hope you can solve a question for me

    I make models of varies scales (1/43, 1/24 and 1/18) and need some help with the percentage increases when scaling stickers between the varies sizes.

    Say i have stickers drawn to a scale of 1/43, what percentage is the increase to scale them up to 1/18 scale. (i do this in Illustrator so i can put in the exact percentage increase)

    thanks

    You need to scale the linear dimensions by a factor of 43/18 = 239%

    Ah ok, so if i wanted to scale from 1/24 to 1/18 would it be 24/18 = 133%

    And to scale from 1/18 back to 1/43 would it be 18/43 = 42%?
