Interesting difference in size there Rich - now put some figures next to them and we can see the right scale!
Really nice model BTW

Will do ;)

Just a 12% increase over the 1/56 but IMHO a much better match for heroic scale figs.

Cool images. I like the 'Chitral' lettering and I have never seen the netting at the base of the gun turret before. One wonders what that bar in the back of the second vehicle is for. For dusting rugs?  ;)

I'll double check the measurements just in case... I'm stuck with whatever scale the drawing claims.

Dunno about extracurricular rug beating or whatever the public schoolboys call it these days ....but seeing this picture I have to have a Crossley (and a Carden Loyd)
