im building a british WW2 themed imperial guard army and have been looking at the tanks and transports they used and was wondering if anyone can help me with similar scaled models?

my ideas are to use-
1. sherman tanks
2. crusader tanks.
3. Universal Carrier

and lots of other things that i will hopefully think of

thanks for any advice

I'd go 1/35 for the scale - for a reason.

1/35 Universal carrier is about the same footprint as a chimera (or Salamander - open topped command vehicle).

An M4 Sherman in 1/35 are the same width and about the same height as a Leman Russ. It's just about 2" longer. You can get cheap "kits" of these (they are ex battery powered motorised "toys" with the motor removed. You still have to assemble them - but they use a screwdriver not glue)

I don't know about the crusader, but the Matilda is another small tank that wouldn't look out of place. Again around the footprint of a chimera.
