1:244 on average using measurements of the wingspan.
the smallest are Me110 and P-38 which are 1:223 and the largest is the zero which is 1:268.
So maybe they should re-do all the planes now also eh? I mean if there is no consistent scale you have to re-do everything... maybe 1:300 this time. How about it Wotc? Or maybe 1:200. Up to you.

I would go with 1:144 so we can use the Dragon planes too.

Thanks for the help!
As these are also inconsistent, I am thinking about replacing the whole lot with 1:300. Probably the aricraft are the only units that will keep their value after the announced scale change :cool:

Me 110 223
P-38 227
Do 335 241
Il-10 244
Meteor 247
Typhoon 245
Me 262 243
Corsair 246
Shiden 244
Zero 268
P-51 252
Fw 190 236
Bf 109E 247
well... I think they varry a bit. Maybe Wotc will se fit to re-do all the planes as a result. who knows.
I used the best information I had for the actual wingspan... it listed down to the inch. I think my numbers are pretty accurate. I did it because I was considering dumping all the planes on the trade market and replacing them with 1:300 scale from another maker.

You didn't include the Schpitfire.

Planes are not.
soldiers and Tanks are 15mm (1/100)
Planes are about 13mm (1/144)
Reason is that they would be so huge on the battle field, but they still don't take away from the appearance of the game.
If you wanted to compare a AAM tank with a plane, do it with a FOW plane. Now a aAm plane.

That particular plane never existed, so it shouldn't be included.....

Of course but no matter how old the joke gets it will never get old.

After about 5 more sets are released they will redo the scale in the planes to match those of FOW at 15mm.;)
