PTE Tank Scale?

Post by Jesse James » Tue Mar 11, 2014 11:37 pm

The PTE Tanks are underscaled, but does anyone know what scale exactly their Abrams and Chinese tanks are? Kind of curious for a specific reason, actually.

Now Hasbro, make us some Head Sculpt & Endor Uniform variations! The new Rebel Fleet Trooper gets the JJ Seal of Approval Though!

My guess would be in the 1:20 scale range for the PTE tanks. I've seen an R/C M1 Abrams tank in 1:24 scale before and it was a little smaller than the PTE tank. It's funny how PTE is really all over the place with its scaling.

Thanks man... I was looking at those RC tanks. This is for a Star Wars project. I was curious who's bigger basically... Some RC tanks are so cheap I don't know how they do it if they're on par at all with HengLong and stuff.

Tman is pretty much right on. The Abrams is 1/21 and the Chinese tank is 1/20. Interestingly, the Chinese IFV is actually over scale at about 1/17. Many of the jeep type vehicles are a bit over scale too, i guess so the figures will fit in easily (remembering XD jeep and kubel problems).
i never met an airplane i didn't like...
