There we have the dilemma...
Today I finaly got the Blu-Ray from the live action movie "Space Battleship Yamato" and the bonus material revealed the measurements they actually used for the Yamato, what makes the length 534 meters (about 1752 feet).
The Bandai kit of the Yamato (movie version), which they say has a scale of 1/500, measures 53 cm (20.86 inch) what would be 265 meters (869 feet) in real life. But to be honest, the kit doesn't look much alike the yamato from the movie.
So my problem is, what size I should use for the actual papercraft I make? I want to make it compareable with Jan Rükrs Sulaco, so I set the scale to 1/430.
