It all depends what you do with them. Given that a lot of SF vehicles
are
often depicted as much bigger than contemporary AFVs, then something
like a
1/35 Sheridan, Marder etc with some conversion to the hatches, an added
hover-skirt or grav modules or similar, makes a great _BIG_ tank/APC for
25/28mm SF.
But, they're much to big to really be used for what they actually are -
if
you want something to serve as a light tank or small APC, then look to
1/48
models - there are some very nice (and cheap) Chinese-made ones on the
market.
