There's no 54mm board on which to ask this. Does anyone know what scale this model is, from having actually built and measured one?

Old releases say it's 1/32 but it's currently labelled 1/35. oldmodelkits.com reckon it could be as large as 1/28. Anyone know for sure?

I could not find any mention of the correct scale, other than most people saying the scale is probably closer to 1/32.

This is a very elderly kit, so I would not expect any real support for it anywhere. Most serious modellers would choose the Tamiya, Hobby Boss or Bronco kits these days.

Look it up at Scalemates.com
Not only do they have release/version histories of models, but they often have the instructions in pdf.

Hi Zephyr

I have seen the instructions and the old ones say it is 1/32 while the newer say it is 1/35!

Here's an older boxing that scalemates describes as 1:35. Note the 1/32 on the box:

and here's a 2007 boxing, one you can still find quite easily, which now says 1/35!

Airfix did the same. Their tank kits were originally scaled as HO/OO, which then became 1/76, which then became 1/72, which has now reverted to 1/76, but it was the same plastic inside throughout.
