RE: 1/16 Hooben/Arkmodel elefant tank build
ORIGINAL: borealis I need your help to verify the scale of the hooben model, to compare it with the IMAI one, since there is someone saying that the IMAI elefant was in 1/15 scale, not 1/16. Can you measure and post the following dimensions of the hooben model: - lenght withouut barrel - lenght with barrel - width Thank you! - length with barrel -19 1/4 inches - width-8 inches fender to fender |

Imai always marketed their's as a 1/16 scale model and while gross errors have been made before I doubt they'd be that off.
I agree with Ken, they seem close to me. I bought the Hooben and while I've not yet built one I propped up the lower and upper hull for a a 'sort of' comparison. These may make things more confoosing with yer Hoobens but there it 'tis. Jerry |

I thought I read some time ago that the Imai was actually kind of in between 1/16 and 1/15, a little of both.

These may make things more confoosing with yer Hoobens but there it 'tis. I used to own 2 IMAI and while I always thought this model was darn good and accurate, I remember the part that was really not in 16th scale was the muzzle break (I read that it was taken from a 15th scale model of the Tiger made by Bandai). It was way too big compared to my other 16th models. |
RE: 1/16 Hooben/Arkmodel elefant tank build
Thanks Viper54 for the dimensions and Tanque for the side by side comparison.
After some calculations looks like the IMAI elefant is in about a 1:15.5 scale, while the Hooben one is about 1:16.6 |
