Could anyone furnish me with the length/height/width of the complete Airfix 1:76 Mk IV and the Emhar 1:72 version (and the dimensions of their MK V might also be useful)?
Thanks in advance |

The Emhar model will be bigger than the Airfix. |

The Emhar Pz IV is 5% larger than the Airfix Pz IV. While it doesn't sound like much, if you place them side by side, you'll definitely see the difference (the Emhar hull and turret is about 1/4" longer, and a little under 1/8" wider and taller); the eye is that good at telling the difference. You can generally mix 1/72 and 1/76 models if they're different types (ie, 1/76 Pz Vs with 1/72 Pz IVs) without too much trouble. But mixing scales with the same types can be a problem. |

Or is this question on WW1 tanks? I ask because I have not yet seen an Emhar Pz IV… Rob |

Oops! Boy, did I blow THAT! (Never answer a question BEFORE your first coffee…). Ok… Well, the same thing applies; the Emhar Mk IV Male model is still going to be 5% larger than the Airfix model (about 1/4" longer and about 1/8" wider). Still noticeable if placed side by side. The Mk V is the same length, so the same numbers apply. Sorry 'bout the foul-up… |

Sorry, oops, WWI MK IV Male (or Female)! Should have put that in the title. I was after actual dimensions of the finished kits. |
