Everything you need to know to build a 1/35 scale military model
Why choose a 1/35 scale military model?
A miniature setting is only credible when it looks real. So it's essential to decide on a scale. The scale helps to assess the size of the scale model in relation to that of the original object.
If you're interested in military models, it's best to opt for a 1/35 military model. The 1/35 scale is the most commonly used for this theme. To calculate, simply multiply the size of the real object by the scale. For example, if the object is 5 metres long, the model will measure 14.2 centimetres.
A 1/35 scale model will be 35 times smaller than the original craft or object. The corresponding figurines are almost 5 centimetres high.
