Well the hull is

Model 76mm long & 37mm wide ?

real = Length 6.87 m Width 3.27 m

yes a few things wrong with this suggestion.

1) it is odd there are no tools/track links/stuff moulded down the hull sides ?
2) turret has large hole & ring not a peg.
3) hull bottom does not have lips moulded to the sides to go over the tracks.
4) tracks appear to be a single moulding of track & sprockets & return idler with outer road wheels added afterwards
Also one of the rear engine fans has a raised box around it.

Those numbers make it HO, 3.5mm to the foot or 1/87 (okay 1/90 and 1/88).

Roco have a range of HO military models, but the ones I have seen have roller wheels.

Post by: MartinR on 10 December 2017, 08:21:17 AM: It isn't PSC or Zvezda. I just looked at the sprues. Sure it isn't Roco either, unless they've retooled their rather ropey Panther.

I agree, scale and details match.

Anyone want it for the price of postage ?

pins that locate tracks have been broken , well all but one , however it does not look like a very strong way to fasten them for a war games model ?
