:think: Hmmm, well... that would be 1/ 8th or 1/ 16th of the tank your model is based upon.
Obviously, a real Panzer 111 is much smaller, for example, than a Leopard 2A6; and models will reflect this dimensional difference (or should). :)

Roughly, a 1/16 is easily carried and (generally) 1-2ft long. 1/8 isn't easy to carry and will be about twice as big as the 1/16.
