Hi Moni. Don't know if this is any good but:


At 1/6 scale, 220 mm gives 1320 mm (4ft 4inches) real height


At 1/9 scale she would be 1980mm (6ft 6 inches) real height.


These two standard scales for motorbikes are the closest match.


I could imagine a tiny Japanese girl 4ft 4inches tall, so 1/6th scale would be the one I'd look for.


If you imagine her to be 1520 mm (5ft) tall, you'd need a scale of 1/7 approximately, but I don't think anyone does bikes in that scale.

You're looking at around 1/7 scale so 1/6 scale would do as Dave points out.

great help,Dave,you do explain it well,but with me never sinks in,


so a 1/6 scale would place the bike about hip high on her ?


and that would be just about right,


thank you so much for your help,Dave,Si,,


will look for a nice street bike, :D

If you're wanting a kit then Tamiya do some nice ones in 1/6 scale, however can be expensive £50 + You could also look into getting a diecast bike in that scale and customising.

ta Si,will look into it,I do hope to go to the swap meet,on the 21st of this mth,and Mark from spur-finders always has a lot of kits,


and he is the main guy I,buy from,and if I miss that ,I can always email him,as I think they will be around the $30.oo or do make, 9_9


or if I,cannot get there can ask my mate Dale,to have a look for me,

Hard to tell exactly how high the bike will be as it varies depending on the exact model. Your figure does have very long legs, so somewhere about her hips/waist would be about right I guess.

Ta Dave,as I know when I stand next to a street bike,its around that high,as I'm,about 5ft2
