Hi Germy,

For a largish MBT, I'd be inclined to go for a length of around 70mm 
or so, and a width of (say) 30mm. This would kind of keep it in line 
with the larger sort of real "modern" vehicles (7m long x 3m wide). 
15mm dimensions are easy to work with for converting real-world 
vehicle sizes - it's near as dammit 1/100 scale, so just divide real 
dimensions by 100 (I'm sure you must have at least a basic reference 
book or two on real tanks, I don't know any wargamer that hasn't!).
