Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that the LMM kit is in 1/24th scale.
A friend of mine has built it and it makes up into a very nice kerbside model.
His is definitely 1/24th....Did LMM make one in 1/32nd scale as well?
Previous posts have neglected to mention the lovely photo etched wheels that were radally spoked
like those that were first used on the Type 59.
