So I've just been sat here thinking about the range of scales we have as modelers. But which specific piece of equipment has the biggest range of scales. So to explain more which model can you get in the largest range of scales, from lets say 1/6 to 1/700.
Thinking about it myself I think it could be the Stuka (this will please Bish I'm sure) but I know you can get it in 1/12, 1/24,1/32, 1/48, 1/72, 1/96 and I think 1/114. Can anyone beat that?? Can anyone out there beat the 7 sacles of the Stuka or did I miss something?

Good question, although no one can beat the Stuka
But hang on, a 1/12th Stuka, really. I want to see that.
Be interesting to see what answers you get, surly this will only be matched by other aircraft. I know there are some ships in several different scales, but I can't imagine 7.

To be honest I think the 1/12 is a radio controlled one but I think we can give that one. As I've seen some 1/6 tanks it could be a close call.
I would say the M4 Sherman tank - 1/6, 1/16, 1/32, 1/35, 1/40, 1/48, 1/64, 1/72, 1/76, 1/87, 1/100, 1/350, and 1/700 I can think of (I might have forgotten a few), and these are all plastic kits (non-R/C or toys)

I couldn't find a 1/64 but I did find a 1/50 which is diecast so do we include that??
Lindberg had re-released a set of 4 tanks called "Battlefield 4" one of which i believe was an M4, the set was listed as 1/64. I would try to stick to plastic kits, if you go into diecast, toys, etc, there are 100's of things that are odd scaled.
Scratch that 1/64. I dug out my kit, it contains Tiger I , Panther, JS-3 and an M-46.
Ok we now have 12 to beat
GHQ also produces small wargaming armor models in 1/285 scale. They are molded in white metal and require assembly (usually gluing the turret on, but their aircraft are much more elaborate). They make both the Sherman and Stuka.
There's also that tiny 1/144 scale line similar to the tiny Dragon kits. http://www.hlj.com/product/ysk-00261/Mil
The original Revell M4 Sherman (not the ex-Monogram 1/32 one) was box scale and then "re-scaled" to 1/40 to fit with their true 1/40 scale armor. It's actually closer to 1/35. I believe the original Ampersand Modelers Guide called it 1/36. That kit was an amalgam of an early M4A1 dry hull with what appears to be the 105mm howitzer gun in a low bustle turret with HVSS. While the Sherman served in many variations over the course of many years, this particular combination was doubtful.
There are also RC ready to run 1/24 scale Shermans and a paper model in 1/25 scale.
The new Revell LSM kit, on 1/144 scale, comes with a bunch of army vehicles - including several Shermans. So another 1/144 kit can be added to the list.
I got a look at that LSM at the IPMS nationals. It looked extremely impressive.
