Widely acknowledged, though labelled as 1/72, Valiant products are much over-scaled, really giants next to true 1/72 stuff. Still, “WWII German IF8 Infantry Cart” puts forward a drought horse and due to the great diversity of breeds, the animal might be deployed in the 1/72 scale, too.
Practically, this is the reason why I painted the horse and also add to it scratch-built traces and reins.
The figure is heavily converted in order to get a more 1/72 aspect, his head and all his gear and weapon were changed with Dragon ones (the head is Italeri).
The cart was left aside because is much too big, so completely useless for the 1/72 scale.
Likewise, I have included few comparison photos featuring also true 1/72 figs and horses.
More photos and a review of this set is available here:
