Have to remember you can do a lot of eye fooling with tire/wheel size and body height both scaling up and down. Cross is more 1/12 to 1/14 if you look at wheel base and such.
I know they make a series declared as 1/12. The 1/10 scale stuff is larger. I have just ordered an HC6 and I assume it's a semi scale of an American-esque or some contemporary 6x6. wouldn't mind posting a review of it. At the price I'm not expecting perfection, just something to have fun with. I have some of the Amewi(??) 6x6 and 8x8 as well as the Capo 8x8. I got them mainly for the way they were executed. I read that the Capo was made under license from Tatra but I don't know if that is really true or not. Also not sure if the Amewi trucks are scale or not- again I liked their execution. All of this is the result of a wild streak to get something else for the ground besides tanks. I think after getting all these my thirst for military- like trucks is slaked... I even got an Axial SCX10 and a nice Unimog hardbody for it.. Jerry is 6 years old again...
I'll have to dig up specs to see if any of these is even close to anything in real life.
