Has anyone ever worked
out what a Tiger would weigh at 1/6 scale? Thanks George Good info and good question. Well, again, when
the scale is doubled, the surface is multiplied 4 times and volume, and
therefore weight is multiplied 8 times.
SO,
In scale 1:1 a Tiger weighs 60 tons
in scale 1:2 =
60 : 8 = 7.5 tons
in scale 1:4 = 7.5 : 8 = 0.935 tons
in scale 1:6 a steel Tiger SHOULD weigh 0.935 : 3.37 = 278 kgrs.
at scale 1:6 each of the 16 arm springs should handle a weight of 17
kgrs.
Plywood tanks with large batteries in scale 1:6
weigh about 50 kgrs, or 1/5th actual weight.
About 3.125 kgrs on each of the 16 springs.
I hope that helps.
