Sometimes when we are building from a drawing, we get the dimension by using a scale ruler on the print. It's not for everything, but you get my point about accuracy.
K-Lines should call this SO-SO Scale, but 1/56th. would have been a true middle split. As far as a decimal system, ask David Dewey. His family owns one. Every time I build a model airplane, I say ***K! The rudder was probably tough to install. :<) The engine cowls ARE nassels, but spelled nacelles. It's French. Now rudder off! (Yeah, I like that. Sounds ruddy British. Ooops. Am I an accidental etymologist? Ruddy from rutting or vigorous, instinctual intercourse?) I love those Japenglish instructions. I have a few examples in my collection of olio.
