According to the FG website, the B-36 model has a 40'' wingspan which would make it 1/69 scale.
My PC opens PDF's with Adobe Acrobat and by adjusting the page viewing size to match an A4 sheet held over the screen, I can get a pretty close approximation of the model's scale by measuring one of the wing panels (or the sum total if multi piece), adding a bit for half of the fuselage width and then doubling that figure. Easy enough to find out the full size wingspan and then do the math.
Otherwise print off one the wings (can be at 50% to save ink) and do the math again.
Not foolproof or 100% accurate methods but the first one has worked for me on a number of occasions when I was stumped.
OR...., put a request up on here for anyone who has built the models in question and get them to measure the wingspan for you.
