nice work, my eyes or thumbs couldn't cope with this size

Wouldn't this be about 1/4 scale in 1/35th? Got a figure or vehicle to compare it to?

Thank you Jon!

Istvan, you've done a marvellous job on this tiny little subject. The painting is quite masterful and the detailing looks quite good considering the scale.

@jon_a_its - actually Jon, scale wise this kit is like comparing 1/35 to 1/72. The 1/48 scale to 1/35 comparison would be roughly equivalent to comparing a 1/72 kit to a 1/98 scale.

Cheers,
Jan

Istvan,

Oh! It’s not any larger than a horse fly! Excellent job! Well-executed paint job down to the rain marks with just the right touch of dust and dirt over the vehicle and on the running gear. For its size it sure is packed with plenty of detail. Thanks for sharing and posting your build, hoping to see more of your work here.

Ok, that just gave me a headache!


Istvan, that is increadable...the pic with the Tamiya bottle really puts it into perspective. You must have great eye-sight and a steady hand. Looking forward to seeing a Humvee in this scale....

That's just making my head hurt, maths isn't my thing...
What was the scale of the model? from that I can work out nominal sacle.

Still be cool to see a 1/35 marine next to it.

Istvan, while I like small scale I must say that this might be a little too small for me. I have seen the Dragon 1/72 version and for it's scale it looks like a large vehicle. That being said, you have done a super job finishing this microscopic subject.

Regards,
AJ
