The new Grav APC is a bit longer than the Marder, and maybe a little 
lower in profile, but yes, the overall hull shape is certainly 
similar. The new APC is 40mm wide x 88mm long, so (assuming that 15mm 
is nominally 1/100, which I know is a debatable point but it's the 
yardstick I normally use) that makes it 4 metres wide and almost 9 
metres long if it was "real". Now, a Marder 1 is 6.88 metres long x 
3.24 metres wide (Jane's Recognition Guide), but your mini is in 
1/87, so that should make the model 79 mm x 37mm. Using this as a 
1/100 (15mm) SF vehicle would give it a "real" size of 7.9 metres 
long x 3.7 metres wide, so quite close though a little bit shorter.
