The printable A4 reference sheet
Everything in the guide as a two-page A4 PDF, generated from the same tables, with a printable scale bar you can cut out and hold against a model.
INSIDE THE PDF
Two pages, four tables, one scale bar
Every figure is converted from the 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S manufacturer dimensions, so you can scale any other object the same way.
Page 1 of 2. Print at 100% scale so the dimensions and the scale bar stay true.
CONTENTS
What is in the PDF
Two A4 pages, four tables and a printable scale bar. Nothing else.
- How big is a 1:64 car: the reference car, real size and model size.
- The same car at every scale, from 1:12 to 1:87 side by side.
- Everyday objects at 1:64, from figures and doors to kerbs and bins.
- Converting between two scales, with the multiplier for each.
- A printable scale bar: 5 m of real road, 78.1 mm on the sheet.
AT THE BENCH
How to use it at the bench
Print at 100% scale. Do not use fit to page.
Cut the scale bar out and keep it in a drawer. If a prop is 7.8 mm and the bar reads 0.5 m at that point, the prop is 1.2 times too big.
The tables cover the objects that are awkward to hold a ruler against: a garage bay floor, a workbench, a wheelie bin.
WHY SCALE MATTERS
Why the numbers matter
Scale is a ratio: one model unit stands in for 64 real ones.
A door 4 mm too tall, a kerb reading 4 mm instead of 2, or a figure from another scale range all break the illusion.
Is the 1:64 scale chart PDF free?
Yes, completely. No account, no signup and no paywall. Download it, print it on A4 and use it at the bench.
What paper size does the PDF use?
A4 portrait, two pages. Print at 100% scale without fitting to the page, because the scale bar only measures correctly at its printed size.
What is in the printable scale bar?
A bar representing 5 m of real road at 1:64, which measures 78.1 mm on the sheet, with tick marks every 0.5 m real.
Do the PDF and the web guide have the same numbers?
Yes. The PDF is generated from the tables in the 1:64 scale reference guide, so the two cannot drift apart.

The same numbers, with the reasoning behind them
The PDF is generated from the tables in the full scale reference guide, so the two never drift apart. The guide explains what each number means, why brand accuracy varies, and how to convert between any two scales.
