1-48 Combat
« on: 10 June 2010, 05:24:19 PM »
Does anyone have any of these models?

If so, how do they scale up to West Wind, Incursion, or AE Darkson stuff?

I really like the looks of them.

Their website says:

What 1:48 means and how big are these figures?

1-48 is an exact scale, it means that the scaled models are 48 times smaller than the actual size of the real object. It is sometimes referred to as quarter scale because a quarter inch represents one foot and is equivalent to the model trains 0 scale in USA (in the UK 0 Scale is more commonly 1/43.5 or 7mm to the foot and in the rest of Europe 0 Scale is 1/45). Tamiya and other scale model makers have recently begun to manufacture a line of military ground vehicle models in this scale.

An average standing man in 1:48 scale is approximately 36mm tall, so 1-48COMBAT figures are fairly close in size to the commonly called 32mm (when measured to the eyes) or "heroic scale" wargame figures, but are slightly more realistically proportioned.

The Projekt X WW2 line is 1/48th scale, so should fit in alongside all those vehicles. Not sure how they fit into the Baueda products though as I haven't got any yet. We do have around 220 different miniatures in the range though  :D

I agree.  One of the key points of interest for me!
