guillow's series in scale

i used to work with plastic models, and out of curiosity i was wondering what were the scale equivalent for the guillow's kit. For instance i read on another site that the 500 series was about 1/32 and the 400 series was 1/16. are these scale accurate and does some one else know what they are for the other series.

I have the P-40 kit at home. (I'm at work).So I'm going to have to make a rough estimate of the scale but, I think it is close to 1/25. At 1/32 scale , the model would have a 14 inch wingspan.

Unfortunately, the scale of the 500 series kits varies by model. The determining factor is the largest size model that can be built out of the standard balsa sheets that fit in the box. Most of them have a 16-1/2 inch wing span. You will have to divide that by the actual wing span of the aircraft modeled to find the scale.

Weel thanks guys i'll have to check it out. This info was very useful. I'm used to working with plastic so this is a huge learning curve.
