World War II Aircraft Wingspan Data and Scale Conversions

The most popular reference given for RC aircraft is wingspan.  While some RC kits are built to fly well rather than to fly scale, the wingspan should be close to those listed below. These tables will give a pretty good estimation of scale based on wingspan.

(Listed are American, German and RAF aircraft, other aircraft will be added soon)
