The Tamiya 1/48 infantry and crewmen that I've got are at just well-nigh 28mm. They mix in allright with my BTD and Victory Strength figs.

1/48th equally tall as a existent human being.

"The Tamiya 1/48 infantry and crewmen that I've got are at just about 28mm. They mix in allright with my BTD and Victory Forcefulness figs." Is that so? any change for a pic, I'd honey meet these adjacent as I accept a skilful investment in VF figs already.

1.5" is 38.1mm, at 1/48 that'due south 6' which is at least an inch taller than average in any modernistic population. 36mm is most v'8" , which is most average for 19th and early twentieth century Europeans.

And then I estimate that, to stand for some height variations, this would exist a good range: 6' (72") would be 1.5" (38.1mm) in total height (to top of caput) v' 8" (68") would be 1.4166" (35.98mm) in total summit (to pinnacle of head) However, I retrieve this may be where everything and then goes terribly incorrect: the bottom of foot to eye level standard. If 4.5" is the average altitude betwixt centre level and height of head (this is only an assumption), and so the foot to middle tiptop of the figures would be 2.38mm less: For a 6' person, the figure would be around 35.72mm (to center level) For a 5'8" person, the effigy would be around 33.6mm (to center level) Does my feeble endeavor at math make sense?

if the Tamiya figures are 28mm alpine, they are wayyyyyyy undersize for 1/48th. Scale height they should be 36mm tall from feet to top of the head.

I have some VFM as well & would like to use some Tamiya, merely here's a link to their site (Tamiya's) & they land their 1/48 figs are 37mm link

The old Bandai 1/48 were calculated for the average Japanese meridian of 35+ years agone.

I think JLA105 was saying they where comparable to "28mm" miniatures which is possible since some "28mm" are over 35mm alpine. Cacique Caribe, at that place is no eye measuring standard in model manufacturers (as apposed to miniature manufacturers). I was in a hobby shop looking at 1:48 model figures and they all measure around 36-38mm tall. I didn't detect any that expect out of scale from any manufacturer.

CC my HLBS i:48 ultra modernistic brit infantyman is 36mm tall from lesser of boot to elevation of caput ( hes the 1 reloading from this pack link ) the outher two standing toops are abought twoscore and 42mm alpine from lesser of kicking to top of helmet. ( abought 36mm from bottom of kick to centre level) hope that this helps.

Cheers, Steel Penguin. It definitely helps! CC

So the tallest one is 6'7" to the summit of his helmet even when he'southward not standing heels together to be measured? Conservatively that makes him nigh 6'four". that'southward one tall infantryman. I wonder how they found a full squad of them.

If it's any assistance, I made the North Star figures around 36-37mm which equates to 5'8"- 5'ten". I got those heights from an article which listed average heights in the 1940's. Americans tended to be taller than Europeans and then, only since that time nosotros accept caught upward. At that time people from industrial areas as well tended to exist shorter than those from the state equally well.

Never say "measured to the eyes". It makes T Meier all cranky. Regards, the Gorb

That's completely unfair! It but gives me an opportunity to demonstrate my innate crankiness.

@T Meier, If you were truely innately cranky, you would turn down to have to take a ten legged Cat Passenger vehicle tatooed on your breast. Regards, the Gorb
