Size comparison of HL tanks
 
I didn't know the Tiger 1 is considerably larger than the panzer III until I got it.
Does anyone have a photo (or a link to one) of all HL tanks line up so I can see which one is big and which one is small?

I kind of expected the Tiger to be even larger than the Panzer III than it is from looking at photoes of the real things, however, Im too lazy to take measurements to see if the sclae is correct on both.
HLs line up in size from smallest to biggest is like this:
Pazer III/StuG III
Panzer IV
Tiger I ~Panther~Jagdpanther (Im under the impression HL Panthers use the Tiger chasis, so they should be pretty much the same size, not sure about the JagdPanther)

In this thread I'm interested in checking out dimensions as well to purchase some universally capable container(s) for transporting/storing my tanks

Wazwasnt,

Can you point me in the direction on how to mount switches, etc under the engine covers as you have done on your PZ III. Thanks for you help.

Wozwasnt,

What about removing the engine covers themselves. Straighforward? What holds the covers on after the mod?

After looking at your link I was interested in the internal arrangements of your components. Was your PZIII an S&S? If so did you ditch the smoker?

Thanks

Naturally, the HL Tiger would be bigger then the Panzer III's and IV's. And, of course the King Tiger is bigger then the Tiger 1.

Wozwaznt, the Pershing looks wider than the KT. Is it, or is it just an optical illusion? KT is definitely the longest, though.

KT- 225mm
M26- 220mm

Now I don't have a HL Jagdpanther as of yet, but it should be a bit longer then the HL Tiger but a little narrower however.

Thats what I thought when I got it.

Makes the PzIII look like a toy.
