Question about Tamiya 1/16 Kubelwagen

Post by Morian Miner » Wed Feb 23, 2005 7:54 am

I'm sure if I buy this, 21C will re-release the kubelwagen a week later, but the Rommel makes this set interesting.

Has anyone bought one of these, and how out-of-scale does this look if compared to the 1/18 figures and vehicles? I know "1/16 ain't 1/18", but if it doesn't look too oversized I don't think I'd mind. And how tall is the Rommel figure? I'm estimating about 4.5" from pictures, and wondering if cutting down his legs or replacing with legs from a SW Imperial officer may get him down to a more scale-like appearance.

If you would like, I will take a picture of a 1/16 and 1/18 scale figures standing side by side. The 1/16 scale figures are proportionally larger.

If you could do that, I would appreciate it. I've seen several of the figures that look interesting, but have been hesitant to buy.

The Tamiya Rommel figure is 115mm,he can be bought separately. 1/16th or 1/18th;it's all good! :D

Hello, i was looking at the pics and it is somewhat impressive the difference of the tank commander by 21st and the 1/16 scale figure but based on the other two 1/18 scale tank crewmen figures the difference is not that much and it may be possible to used the 1/16 scale figures.
Btw, my tank commander figure is the same size as the 21st crewmen....so i think you actually have a previous tank commander figure release.
take care.
HOOAH!

is there a way that they could be possed beside one onthe 21st tanks?
thanks in advance.

Thanks, mondaytanker. Those don't look that bad together. The pictures looks like how I look when I take pictures with my brothers (I'm 6-5, they ain't).
