Hey guys, I have an interesting idea for a different kind of build, and have been doing some research, but can't seem to find an exact answer to my question, and don't want to plunk down any hard earned pennies till I know for sure... Here is my question: I'm wondering what scale airplane is the same as the typical 1/24 auto? I was guessing the 1/72 airplane, but since I don't have any, and there isn't a model store in town, I can't compare to be certain. Any plane & auto builders able to weigh in? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I understand the question . 1/24th scale is 1/24th scale , they do make a few 1/24th scale airplanes and one Huey helicopter , the planes are mostly WWII . now if your wondering what wings would look good it just depends on the look you are going for as planes are big and small . perhaps look on ebay for airplane parts lots . just look for parts that have the look you want . years ago I had started a build of a futuristic race car based on a video game. I used a 1/72nd scale jet fighter for the body after I cut out the cockpit the fuselage was big enough to fit a driver figure in. from there cut off the wings and tail and attached some oversized wheels, kind of looked like a jet powered F 1 car . hope this helps . sorry no pictures .

Yes, thank you, it does help. I'm having trouble trying to think of how to phrase the question. But yeah, I'm searching a few parts lots on the ebay, so hopefully I can figure out which direction to take and get the ball rolling. Thanks again randx0.
