maybe my mind is going but I remember back in the day when I used to have the old roco minitanks vehicles and I think that the roco minitanks kublewagen would be smaller than the Old Glory kublewagen in 15mm. Any happen to have the two that they could post a side by side picture of?

Should be slightly larger, since ROCO is 1/87th scale.

Still would like to see a side by side for I know it should be larger, but the Old Glory and FoW kubles do not mix well either and they are supposed to be 1/100th scale.

Might have been the old Roskopf kits. They were 1/90-1/100.

Roco Kubelwagen is 42mm long not counting the little bumpers, which add 1mm each. I don't have any 15mm KW. Mike Bunkermeister Creek bunkermeister.blogspot.com

Bunkermeister, thanks for the measurement. My Old Glory KW comes out to 43mm so it looks like they could pass. I wonder what other roco's could slip by for 15mm FoW? SWS's, Sdkfz 7's, Command Cars & weapons carriers? The GMC 2 1/2 ton?

I think you'd have better luck with Roskopfs, which are 1/100, and frequently mislabeled/sold as ROCOs.

Some of the early Rocos were either 1/100 or close enough. The original, Z-101 Sherman, the original Pz IV and the Panther are all 1/100. The Roco GMC trucks would be the equivalent of 5-ton trucks for FoW. Wyatt
