Way too big. What I really want is what's done by Thomaston.

Thanks for this. I had a look via the links you kindly provided, but alas even smaller than Air Cap 1/1200 and very rich in costs.
Then the late Teddy Petter came to my salvation.  I have a memory of being shoehorned into his sleek little Folland Gnat - My RAF host apologised "Its like a Glasgow tenement - no ballroom!"

The Gnat was a mere 28ft long. Even in 1/600 from Tumble Dice it will fit with my 2mm. With a little clipping and filing it will proxy for other types. Way to go- other shrunk aircraft like the Brewster Buffalo.

The 2mm Irregular range as a poor generic style tracked APC. By comparsion the wheeled BTR60 type is a decent model.

For a tracked APC the Oddzial SPz11 "Kurz" in 1/600 - a diminutive model in any scale, will proxy well as a 10 man battle taxi at the smaller scale.
