Tank Crew

Post by Merlin707 »

Will 1/24 scale crew be too small and look out of place in a 1/16 tank?

Also will the 1/16 scale crew look slightly too big and out of scale as I remember seeing a post on here about it.

Thanks

Way too small IMO Merlin...the closest I would settle on is 1/18th ;)

Good Evening, Merlin,
Members here have a lot of success with 1/18 scale figures and 1/16 figures. The issue you remember may have been with some of the Verlinden figures? Closer in scale to 1/15? Someone more knowledgeable than I can speak to this. Here is a photo that Michael recently requested of 1/18th and 1/16 crew and riders together to compare.
regards,
Painless

Verlinden are bigger but don't look out of place. People are all sizes, what to say you tank crew can't be (unless they're Russian who had quite a low max height for tankers).
