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

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 ...

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