Bomber_County Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Very nice but I’ll stay with 35th. 16th probably needs a lot of real estate when complete. Also I’m still disappointed (albeit haven’t seen one in person) concerning the detail or lack of the amount of detail which I would thought would be synonymous with basically doubling the size. Hubert please correct my maths to seven decimal places………. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert please correct my maths to seven decimal places………. Yeah I get it, 1/16th isn't for everyone. For me as I get older and my eyesight gets worse, I have been moving up in scale. 1/48 to 1/32 to 1/24 now to 1/16, boy if my eyes get any worse I'll be working on 1 to1, gheesh! As for detail, my Trumpeter Panzer IV Ausf H is very detailed, as far as I'm concerned. The 1/16 Tiger VI Ausf E is very detailed. Yeah the tool clamps don't open/close, but you can make them work, very difficult if not impossible in 1/35. They do take up alot of space in a cabinet or shelf, therefore why I said there not for everyone. Ron G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1/16 kit uses 10.4675293 times more volume (and 4.78515625 times more shelf area) than the 1/35 equivalent 😉 HTH Hubert 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted Sunday at 01:45 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:45 PM Having just picked up the recent Andy's Tiger, I'd love a Firefly in 1/16 but that's about it. Maybe the Das Werk Stug III but they're almost double in price now for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted Sunday at 02:12 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 02:12 PM Hey Carl Heller makes a stug iii with shurzen in 1/16 scale. It's pretty close to the Das Werks in detail. Ron G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't like to sell to people he doesn't know, he's afraid of some one making nock offs of his work. Ron G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
