Problem With Scaling Object

Hello :smiley: .I have a strange problem.I have made a car model for my demo.The object is to big, so i scaled it smaller.OK ,but when i parent other objects to it and press p , its size becomes the same as it was before scaling it down.Sometimes after pressing p this model even turns invisible!I DONT GET IT :-? Maybe im doing something wrong ?

Scale/Rotate it in Mesh mode

Press CONTROLKEY+AKEY.

That solved everything :smiley: . Big thanks to both of you :smiley: .
