Hubley Scale models what scale are they?

[Joop]

Just like to know what the scale size is for the Ford Model A Hubley's

On the MAFCA site it is listed as 1:20 and 1:24
On Ebay they are listed as 1:20 and 1:24
On a Canadian Scale Model website they are listed as 1:18

Awaiting your answer.

Thanks

From everything that I know they are 1/20th scale

If you have a Hubbley handy (sorry, I do not) measure the wheelbase. Then divide the Model A wheelbase (103.5") by that number.

I'd simply check a few easy to measure dimensions and calculate each. Do several, as one need is to see if the scale is reasonably consistent!
I'd start with wheelbase and diameter of wheels...I think the 19" wheels would be about 20" due to the flange.

I can't answer your question regarding Scale, but these metal Hubley Model A Fords are nice when painted and built up. This impressive Diorama of a Ford Model A Assembly Line is on display in the recreated Model A Dealership built in the grounds of Gilmores, at Hickory Corner, Michigan. I believe that these Model A Fords are Hubley, but I can't confirm that. Take a look at this neat display. I think that they are 1/24th Scale, but am not sure?

The diameter of a wheel is 1inch so my math says 1.20 scale accounting for the tire fitting in the bead

They are bigger than the 1/24th scale models I have so I would agree with the 1/20th scale. Funny it doesn't say anywhere on the box or in the instructions what scale they are.

I just found 4 brand new in the box when cleaning a closet.

Would that be called a "Closet Find"?... "Instead of Barn Find"??

I guess you could say they came out of the closet!

Seeing these models were made many years ago, they were pretty accurate for the time, and even today, rate as quite good, even though the art of model making is so more advanced. Hubley offered the Model A Ford in a variety of body styles. As has been mentioned above, there is no indication of the Scale on the boxes, but in light of the above comments and above picture, it is fairly safe to say that the Scale is 1/20th.

Here is how I did my Hubley Sedan. I find it odd how the tops of the front side windows tip down in the front. Would that be to avoid copyright infringement?

These are nice Model Kits. You have done a great job with your Sedan.

You mean your's don't? I just replaced my DS glass and it's not square...



But I see what you mean, the Hubley's is more pronounced.

Now I know 1:20 it is.

Thanks for all your help and posting those nice pictures
