Draft scales on ships are used to quickly see how deep in the water the bottom of the ship is. Lightly loaded, the ship floats higher and heavily loaded deeper.  For example, if the water surface is at mark XX, the bottom of the ship is 20 feet beneath the surface. 

In the past centuries, Roman numerals have always been used for this purpose. The number and the gap have every time height one half of foot. In this way, was dive of ship detected exactly with a one half of the foot. Monitoring the ship's draught was very important when loading supplies and goods into the ship, so that all the material was evenly distributed, so that the ship did not tilt to one side or the other, or the bow or stern was not too heavy. However, it was also common for the ship to have a higher draft at the stern than at the bow.

Draft scales of HiSModel are versatile for all models in the 1:100/96 scale. You only have to determine the correct scale and position of the scale of the individual models.
