OK, I'm not great at math either but to convert meters to mm move the decimal 3 places and that would make full sized length of 6.28 meters come out to 6280mm. Divide that by 16 and you have scale 392.5 mm, not 396 mm so they fudged it a bit, not much. The scale width is wider than the model at 184.375mm and the scale height is lower than the model at 156.25 mm.

Does that mean that Mato Panzer III hull lenght is about 3.5 mm longer than it should be?
