If you give me the measurements you used, I'll check QRF's for you too

Strange also that they are all way too high on this one, but on the others you have checked it's only Battlefront.
I understand that it a design policy with Battlefront to increase the height to match figures on their thick bases.

Gross:

What measurements are you using? I think you've got something wrong. When I went through this last year the Old Glory stuff was way to short and the others were just about right on height (didn't check Peter Pig). I started checking because OG was my first purchase for 15mm and they just didn't look right.

Ivan, I'll double check. I was using a 1/35 line drawing.

are you questioning just the IV, or all of the tanks I posted?

GrossKaliefornja15 Jul 2004 8:30 a.m. PST

Ivan, I just checked with a completely different source. Everything checks out. If you like, I can send you the line drawings so you can verify.

Ya know NigelM, I really don't mind the IV's. At least they are all roughly proportional & are off in the same area (height).

What kills the BF PzIII for me is that it is both high & narrow. It always bothered me, but it wasn't until last night when I checked the dimensions that I felt justified in my criticism.
