Is this model to scale?

I got this for my grandson for his school project, we had fun putting them together and coloring them to the correct color for each planet. He got a A, LOL.

not at all but it was really fun to use. we covered the planets in modeling clay and tried to get as accurate as possible with the colors. we did pretty good which took away from the distraction of the planets not being to scale.

No - the model can't be to scale as outlined in this reply. The gas planets are huge compared to the terrestrial 4 inner planets. The answer to "how many Earth's can fit into Jupiter" is 1,321.3. You can do the math yourself if you would like. Take the volume of Jupiter(1.43128 x 1015 km3, divide it by the volume of Earth(1.08321 x 1012 km3 and you should end with 1,321.3. It has an equatorial radius of 71,492 km, which is 11.2 times larger than Earth's. As you can tell from that number, Jupiter is a very large planet. In fact, it accounts for 2.5 times as much mass as all of the other planets in the Solar System. Just to give you another way to look at how much larger Jupiter is than the other planets, you could fit 763.6 Earths inside Saturn, 63.1 Earths inside Uranus, and 57.7 Earths inside Neptune. The only object in the Solar System larger than Jupiter is the Sun. You could fit 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun.

Yes it will, its very accurate. That is an odd claim for someone to make lol. great scale I love mine.

No, it's not built that way and would be too unsteady. Buy the taller model.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

You have fun putting it together if you enjoy putting models together. Of course it's not in English. But pics easy to follow!If you like to paint? Than that's another story lol! But I met few people who each do their own thing! Good model little smaller than other 1/100 scales. Still, I enjoy it and still up displaying!

No, it's a plastic scale model, it comes in like 100+ pieces, unpainted, and you have to glue each individual piece together, then paint the vehicle and when it is assembled, it is not a toy or anything like that, it just sits on the shelf, and can and will look very realistic, but the only "playing" you can do with it is assembling it, which can be difficult but very rewarding, and will help people understand more about the mechanics of a vehicle. If you are looking for an RC snow plow, I would look into finding an assembled Tamiya CC-01 Blazer with a Snow-Plow attachment, but that's hobby-grade and will cost a few hundred dollars. If you're looking to get a R/C (remote-control )gift, or for yourself, or whatever you need, you can give me a price range and age range for who it is for, I'm very familiar with the R/C scene and am a hobbyist myself, so I can help you find the right gift at the right price if you're unsure what to buy.

I would say yes, the scale is correct. We have about everyone of these trucks and they all work together size wise. Check the mfg site for exact details. These are the best trucks.

Yes, as most scales automatically do. Just make sure it's on a flat surface.
1259612
Yes, the ones in the package use the same scale. I read an article of them that they want to make the big ships and probably will use a different scale for then, witch I think is reasonable.

It does not fly. It is a model that requires much time and patience putting it together.

No. It's closer to 1/144 scale, but Robot Damashii/Robot Spirits figures are non-scale.

Yes, the model is an advanced level kit requiring intricate trimming, gluing, and painting for historical accuracy. It is not for the beginner or intermediate modeler, nor for the faint of heart.

Well if i was you i would youtube it. The few sources ive seen says it can. You just have to gear it right so the motor isnt over working. Plus the motor gets ran in losi sct's all the time and the ones im talking about are 8th scale buggy platforms converted into sct's. And the emaxx is considered 10th scale.

Largely no, or not without a lot of trouble. The scale is too small, and the display has a very narrow viewable angle. You can finagle a view, as the other answers attest, but you will be annoyed every time that it's so hard to read.

It's actually perfect if you have a small home set up. I haven't had any problems out of it at all. If your going larger scale I'd say this is not for you.

I believe so, yes. There isn't any reason I can see why you can't play a more scaled-d

Hello,It is no descripition for scale.But this model hight is approximatery 425mm = 17inch.Thank you.
