M MasonJar It's not rocket surgery Oct 31, 2002 5,362 0 36 Ottawa, Canada Visit site Mar 2, 2007 #22 I saw a couple of kits for a model airliner that resembled a Boeing 777. I did wonder about the scale when I read on the box that the wingspan was 55 inches. Click to expand... Several web sites reference the 777 as having a 199' to 200' wingspan. Assume 200'. That's 2400". Divide by 55. Get 43.6 (approx). That makes roughly 1:44. So it's just a little larger than an O scale (1:48) model would be, and very roughly twice the size of the most common airplane models (at 1:72). Andrew
