Does anyone know how does the Skytrex/Command Decision T-26 ( link ) compare with the plastic Zvezda kit in terms of size?
I'm looking for T-26 mod. 1933 to mix with Zvezda's T-26 mod. 1939 for my Finnish platoon. |

I have mixed Minairons T-26s minairons.eu/en with my Zvezda models to give my T-26 units some variety. They are very close size wise. |

Yep, agree with Hammy, the Minairons T-26s are great and you can put Zvezda turrets on them for variety. Not as detailed perhaps but for gaming, spot on. |

Thanks for the advice, but I'm asking specifically about Skytrex models because I can get them here in Poland. As for Minairons tanks, I'd have to order them from abroad. |

My experience of CD stuff is that generally it is smaller than more modern manufacturers (as it is often the older 1:106 scale rather than 1:100). My Skytrex T70s are certainly miniscule next to my PSC ones. The onyl exception are the CD universal carriers which are gigantic. I don't have any Skytrex T-26s to compare though. |

Martin is correct. I have both and the CD ones are noticeably shorter then the Zvezda ones (I can't speak to any differences though between the CD and Skytrex ones). The Battlefront ones, while longer than CD, are still a tad shorter than Zvezda as well. |
