fine scale

Italian translation: fine scale/modelli [in scala] perfetti

English to Italian translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / modellismo
English term or phrase: fine scale
La frase è "These minatures are fine scale models." Non credo di capire bene quello che vuol dire questo termine in inglese anche se ci sono parecchi siti sul modellismo. Ho visto il sito di un museo di ferromodellismo dove hanno scritto "modelli fine scale" ma non mi convince. Grazie in anticipo!

"fine scale" sottolinea un modellino eseguito perfettamente nei minimi dettagli, ad opera d'arte
ossia "modelli/modellini in scala perfetti", laddove "in scala sarebbe, probabilmente, quasi un pleonasmo in italiano....

questione di feeling:)))
