Can some souls compare a Rhino 40K, Bolt Action T-34 and a Italeri 1/72?

Absolutely tiny by comparison.

Bolt Action tanks are 1/56 scale. While 40k is still supposed to be nominally 28mm (1/56 scale), GW models are actually much bigger. If you want to use WWII models I'd suggest trying 1/48. I've even seen some 1/35 models cut down in length that look decent on a 40k table.

Some 1/35 WW2 tanks can fit sizewise alongside 40k stuff.

A 1/35 matilda (which was a TINY) tank, scales fine next to a chimera, for example (very similar footprint).

The question comes up occasionally and here's a thread with a picture I found from googling...

The 1/72 tank will obviously be even smaller than the one in that picture.

In general 40k scales very poorly with historical models because 40k is basically a chibi scale. Fat gun barrels, short vehicles that are wide and tall, human models that are short but chunky. In general very chunky details.

Even if you find one that looks similar size, it usually won't look right next to a 40k model without considerable conversion.
