Re: Paper Vehicle sizes?

15mm gives about 1:122 for scale.  so for a few
current tanks.

AMX-13 Light Tank  
Length 4.88m  =  40.0mm 
Width  2.51m  =  20.5mm
Height 2.28m  =  18.7mm

British Scorpion Tracked Recon
Length 4.79m  =  39.2mm 
Width  2.24m  =  18.3mm
Height 2.10m  =  17.2mm

Chieftain MBT
Length 7.48m  =  61.3mm 
Width  3.51m  =  28.7mm
Height 2.90m  =  23.7mm

T-72B MBT
Length 6.91m  =  56.6mm 
Width  3.58m  =  29.3mm
Height 2.19m  =  17.9mm

Leopard 2 MBT
Length 7.69m  =  63.0mm 
Width  3.70m  =  30.3mm
Height 2.79m  =  22.8mm

I recommend you pick up scalecalc a scale calculating
program.
