Helicopter Kit

Question on the helicopter and the tank model kit sizes.?
I have a / 35 M1A2 Abrams 1 and 1 / 35 M2A2 Bradley and think to make a diorama. I'm about to get a 1 / 35 UH-60 Black Hawk and I wondered if this was the exact size to be fit for Tank 1 / 35 diorama and helicopter
Okay ... Scale ... Scale 1 / 35 means that one foot in real life is 35 feet your model. Divide the actual size of 35 and you get the size of the model. Thus, for example, 35 feet long would be a model helicopter 1 foot or 17 '6 "Long tank would be a Model 6 inches long. With me so far? Now, here is the length of your models: M1A2 Abrams - 32 '.48 "(model = 10.98 inches) M2A2 Bradley - 21' 2" (model = 7.25 cm) SH-60B Seahawk * - 64ft inches 10 "or 778 (model = 22.23 inches) I can not give you an exact size for your diorama, because it depends on how you choose POSE vehicles! But while the helicopter, you'll need at least a 24 "square to get the board model and most of the rotor blades on the board. The BEST way to determine the size of the board you need is to take models (constructed or incomplete), and down on a table ... Playing to get the setting page you want. Remember, you try to tell a story with your diorama, not only to put them "on parade". Ask yourself why the Blackhawk is with a tank and IFV!?! The Blackhawk make MedVac? The Blackhawk DOWN vehicles have safety while the bird is prepared for airlift and rescue? Note: This is an excellent way to reduce the size of the diorama, because you could cut the BLADES! Also remember that the crew Blackhawk does not land too close to a tank ... steel "blocks" to mean things spinning rotor blades! Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck * Sorry, I'm a crew member and former Seahawk well prefer it to the Blackhawk. I converted 6 of the MRC UH-60 A / L at Blackhawks SH-60B Seahawks for old comrades
