I'm just realizing, because it only just now came up in conversation, that I have no idea what scale the Fantastic Voyage voyager is supposed to be.

Anybody have aclue?

And don't say 1:1 :p

I thought it's 1/60 scale like the Aurora Spindrift. Are the figures the same size?

It's much smaller than the Spindrift. Its somewhere around 1/90 scale +/- . The figures are about like HO (1/87) or the old Revell 1/96 figures from their missile kits.

Could it be 1/72? The figures don't look quiiiite small enough to be HO.

Hello John

Yesterday after having seen your tread , I compared one of the male figure against a HO preiser figure (The Voyager fig. is a very small bit shorter)and I arrive at the same conclusion as DJNIcK66; They are around +/- 1/90 . If you want a comparison pic, I can do it and send it to you......

They are way smaller than true 1/72 figures.

Bill Bruegman's AURORA HISTORY AND PRICE GUIDE also lists it as being 1/96 scale.

Well the funny thing with figures is you are never sure what is in the box. Airfix now sells their old 1/76 or OO scale figures as 1/72 as that is a much more popular scale. So even though the box says 1/72 the figures are much smaller. But then some of the old Airfix sets were giants. So the 1/76 British paratroopers are as tall as 1/72 figures. Airfix also lost the mold to their own British infantry, so they now sell the Esci figures as their own, and Esci's are true 1/72. Esci had some 1/72 8th Army that were more like 1/50 scale... true giants.
