well, leme see

1km = 1000 metres
1000m = 100.000. centimetres

in 1/72 scale that would be 100.000 splitted by 72

which goes to...

hmmm...

(using calculator)

1388 cm or 13.9 metres?

cheers

LOL! :-) wow, thats big, reason i was aksing is because i was reading some stuff on ww1 and it said artillery (with the exception of short range artillery, and infantry guns) was placed 10km behind the front line.....hmmmm, dont think i will be showing the front line AND the artillery now, might stick to some short range artillery cheers thanks for that
