Hi there,
I read a thread in this forum some weeks ago about scale accuracy issues with some Tank Mania kit.
Does anyone know which kits that are correct 1/35th scale?

I'm interested in all of them but mostly the 9K33 Osa.

Hi,

i think the Osa-AK is in 1/35 scale.
The 2S3 is not in the 1/35 scale.

The list:

001 - 2S4 Ganef - 1/40 scale
004 - SA-8 Gecko - 1/35 scale
003 - "Pat Hand" - 1/40 scale
004 - 2S3 Akatsiya - 1/40 scale
005 - SA-15 Gauntlet - 1/35 with 1/40 scale suspension

Many thanks for the summary Jacques :-)
Good news for the Gecko, too bad about the "Pat Hand" & Ganef ...
Can the Gauntlet be "saved" with suspension parts from "somewhere else" ? Wait and hope that some plastic kit will turn up ? How far off would I be if I used the running gear from the Tunguska ?

Each answer in that thread seems to generate a new question ;-)

I think it ended with a conclusion that Panda running gear could be used with some question mark for the idler ?

Correct with the addendum that the older idler could, theoretically, be used on the suspension with the newer roadwheels. Your call. I am enjoying my build of the SA-15 with the Trumpeter suspension.
