Hi
For this I would say it is just a few millimetres as I also do 1/72 models and get some time 1/76 stuff and it is about 1 or 2 millimetres.
So I would say to multiply should be 2.190 or 2.191 I'm not sure but these are most likely

Thanks for the reply John

Mayni ask if you could explain the way you calculated the constant ,,

[mcevoyi]

Hi John
the two constants you gave seem to be wrong ..

The parts I have been measipureing are way under sized you swing the constant you gave ...

Try multiplying the 1/35 measurement by 2.5...

Hi all

Thanks for the reply ..

But I need to know what the constant is ... as I want to use a calculator ..when I measurements 1/35 parts ..

X2.5

X2.5

Yup, 14 * 2.5 is exactly 35, so that is your constant.
