A 1:35 scale refers to a scale model where one unit of measurement in the model (such as inches or centimeters) is equivalent to 35 of the same units in the real object. For example, if a model is 1:35 scale, and a real tank is 3.5 meters long, the model would be approximately 10 centimeters (or about 3.9 inches) long.
