How to scale

I used to work as a graphics designer and digital photography in the printing business. We scaled finish work this way.

Measure the final size you want to end with. Divide it by the original's size and you have the percentage you reduce it by. Always keep the same unit of measurement across the equation.

Original 5 inches.
New size wanted 2.5 inches.

2.5 divided by 5 equals .5 or 50%.

A little easier

I didn't think about this last night, but if 1/24 = .0416 and 1/32 - .03125 then

.03125 divided by .0416 equals .751 or just a shade above 75% for the final size.

I usually will measure off each decal, fender, hood, etc just in case the smaller sized car body is not scaled the same as the larger one or is altered to fit a fixed wheel base and is made to appear correct. This happens more often in HO than 1/32. Hope this helps.
