 +===== Size Problems! =====
 +
 +It is difficult to find figures of the right size to work alongside the model - especially if you want to actually fit them inside.
 +
 +From left to right, these figures are all marketed as 1/72 scale:
 +
 +   * Plastic Soldier Company - [[:blog:military:models_british_infantry_44_45|Late War British]]
 +   * Caesar - [[:blog:military:models_german_panzergrenadiers_44|Panzer Grenadiers (Normandy)]]
 +   * Caesar - [[:blog:military:models_german_infantry_marching|German Infantry Marching]]
 +   * Caesar - [[:blog:military:models_german_tank_riders_camo|German Tank Riders (Camo)]]
 +   * HaT - [[:blog:military:models_german_tank_riders|German Tank Riders & Crew]]
 +
 +These are all more or less the same overall height - within 1-2mm of each other, with the seated HaT figure being a few mm less than the others on average:

 +Same figures on/next to the [[:blog:military:models_panzer4j|1/72 Dragon Panzer IV]] - //all// of them look close enough for use on/next to the Panzer:

 +
 +=== Preiser, German Panzer Grenadiers in 1/72 ===
 +
 +These are specifically sculpted to use in an Sd.Kfz 251 or similar:

 +
 +They're a lot better, probably still a touch on the large size (if I had to guess, 1/76 would fit about perfectly):
