What Scale are Dinosaur Models?
scale Dinosauria
A question we get frequently asked is what scale are dinosaur models? When considering model aircraft, trains or cars this is a relatively simple question to answer. For example, collectors can acquire a scale model of RMS Titanic.  Any declared scale is likely to be accurate as the dimensions of this ocean liner are known.
