sure

but where do that measure form ..... as the track guards make the tank almost 3 foot longer than the hull ??/

it make a huge different when you try to scale ... ive tryed to use a king tiger dimentions to sale against .... but there just too much error .. in doing it by eye .. if yous ee ?

dont suppose anyone has a cent in either 1/25 or 1/35 theyd care to measure?

this is from a 1/25 cent Width = 132mm.
Length = 290mm.[excluding gun]
Length = 380mm. [incuding gun]
Height = 105mm.
Total gun barrel length = 160mm.
