This shows some of the pitfalls when simply scaling up. This from 1/144 to 1/72

If you look carefully the tracks are too big on the 1/72 model. The turret is not quite scaled up as the 1/144 turret is artificially a big big for handling reasons, the advantage if you are sponsoring the model. The gun on the 1/144 was a bit big so I got the correct sized gun on the 1/72 STL (its corrected for the STL that will be available form Shipyards) and used the scale turret, not my enlarged one. Even so the gun is way to big on the 1/72 model.. However as 1/72 is not really my scale I was not going to pay for a rescale effort, direct scale is good enough for me. I'm a wargamer not a modeler so its good enough as a marker.
