ScottsGT Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Wow. Seems that the 1/16 thing is taking over armor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 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………. 1 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 1 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 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Looks like a great subject. I like the big scale kits....I had a look at the big Trumpy SU-100 in my stash...may build it soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrankyCrafstman Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hey all Andy just released a video on this about 2 hours ago. This thing looks amazing from what you can see. It has a lot of details and working items. Ron G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'm probably the only person to want this, but I'd like to see a large 1/16 Matilda or even cooler....a 1/16 Churchill tank. Or.....a 1/16 universal carrier! British subjects in 1/16 are, I think, underrepresented. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 A 1/16 Universal carrier would still be small. A Churchill would be cool, especially an AVRE one. I would love a Firefly 1C with the hybrid hull myself in 1/16. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takom has a habit of producing small tanks and other vehicles in 1/16. Such as the Type 94, ontos, jeep, west German wiesel etc....so, I think it's a possibility.... Would be cool anyway. Riich Models has a nice Universal in 1/35 ....I've taken an interest in getting that one.....but in 1/16 much better! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takom also does the Tiger 1 (AHHQ) and panzer iii in 1/16 scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
