You must be sure about the size of the object in reference with the scene, it means: try to obtain the right value using some tools.  Particulary, i recommend combine Googleearth and the rule tool and some size definition in the 3D software for obtain the right size, in my case, i have use Blender and the Caliper script. -- Alfonso de la Guarda
