A comparison of models

A: International Mk 8 'Indy tank'. Disney.
B: Vickers A1E1 'Independent'. 1/55. Copplestone Casting
C: Vickers Medium Mk III. 1/55. Copplestone Casting
D: Renault Ft17. 1/48. Gasoline.
E: Austin Putilov. 1/48. Sloppy Jalopy
F: Rolls Royce. 1/55. Copplestone Casting
G: Vickers Mk VI. 1/56. BEF.
H: Vickers Mk II. 1/55. Copplestone Casting
I: Char 2C. 1/56. BEF


Comparing sizes of various models is always interesting, and here is my latest acquisition; the Char 2C along side examples of the various other AFV's I have collected in recent years. The models all work well together, except that sometimes the 1/48 models seem a bit too large and one or two of my other 1/56 models (trucks and cars) seem far too small. On the whole I think 1/55 or 1/56 is the better scale.
