Pdf Decal Sheet Question

Post by Spaceowl »

I can't think of where this one should go, mods feel free to move to somewhere more appropriate BUT:

Suppose I had a pdf of a decal sheet in 1/48 scale. What percentage would I have to reduce it to for it to be 1/72?

It looks like I might have to make my own decal sheets for some of my more offbeat subjects.

48/72 = 0.6667

Reduce or enlarge, the rule is always From / To, ignoring the 1/ parts, as Rob has shown.

Thanks very much. I thought that might be it, but I never trust my own maths.
