I want to buy some Preiser figures for my 1:72 WWII German and Russian tanks. What seems to be the same figure sets are sometimes listed as 1:87 scale figures and sometimes listed as 1:72 scale figures. So, what is the correct scale? If I want the figures to be true 1:72 scale, will the Preiser figures do?

I believe that Preiser sometimes sells figures with the same poses in both 1:87 and 1:72. So if the box says 1:72 its correct 1:72 scale and vise versa. So if you want true 1:72 scale figs, get the ones in the box labeled as 1:72
