Will Roco minitanks work for 20mm?
« on: 06 June 2016, 10:16:36 PM »
Hi

I think this maybe the place to ask, will roco 1/87 work with modern 20mm figures? I think they make a unimog? Thanks for any tips.

They will... but they'll be a bit on the diddy side, especially against some of the slightly larger modern 20mm ranges like Elhiem and Under Fire. Mind you, if you just use Roco for your vehicles, then it shouldn't notice too much. Alternatively S&S do 1/72-1/76nd unimogs IIRC

I'd recommend the S&S vehicles; they really look the part, are very easy to customise and the scale with 20mm blokes is great.

The 1/87th scale models would work better with 15mm imho.
