Mike, you didn't state which one is actually 1/87th scale? A quick check of Wikipedia gives me a body length of 6.87M and a width of 3.27mm, so at 1/87 that's about 79mm in length and 37.5mm wide. What do you have? |

The Roco is the little dark color one and it's well underscale. All the old Roco, Panzer IV, M4 Sherman (Z-101), Panther and older vehicles were under size. The older ones got discontinued right away and replaced with the correct size kits but these soldiered on for decades more. I have an HO scale ruler and measured it out a few weeks ago, in feet and inches. The Roco is way small. The others are correct. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

The Roco vehicles are pretty close to 1:100 scale – so perfect with 15mm stuff |
