It is about 1:76. It is NOT 1:72, it's definitely smaller than that.

Thanks enemyace
do you think in your opinion can fit a platoon or in a wargame made by 1/72 scale tanks and vehicles or it is much obviously smaller than this scale vehicles?
thanks very much

I wargame with 1/72 models and figures, and the Pz IV was smaller than my CDC, Dragon, and FOV 1/72 models, so I didn't use them. If you *exclusively* use the corgi models, then they would probably work okay. But next to true 1/72 models they are too small and stand out.

I have to agree with you on this
probably alone it would be better but not with the 1/72 scale ones
What type of wargame do you play?
I am trying to get in to flames of war
Most often i play wargame with home made quick rules

I've played a lot of different games, most recently Blitzkrieg Commander II in 1/72, and FOV in 1/144 scale. FOW looks and plays a lot better with smaller miniatures with the rules as-is, in my opinion. The table is less crowded and tanks have better spacing.

I agree with you Ace
FOW is better for the dimensions and spacing unfortunately were i live there is no much available in that range so is long and painfull to build an army in 1/72 and expensive too

I liked 1/285, myself. CinC and GHQ provide beautiful models with awesome detail. Plus you can fit an entire platoon or company where a mere section tread. Also the cost of a company is well under $20.00.
