difficulty with finding models

hello!
i'm not sure is this is right threat topic here or am i supposed to go somewhere else, but whatever.
I've been trying to find many tanks and other vehicles in scale 1:87 or 1:100 for free, i've found so many trails of them but every time it ends up with no-longer working links, i've tried using wayback machine but it doesn't work.


any advice ?

A shameless promo + other usefull links

Hi, we make some 1:87 models from World War 2 on our website Models 1:87 ::
Rawen made 1:100 models both WW2 and modern, this is an old webpage, but feels better for looking at models you want to download Minimodels 1/100 :: Prmodels
Minimodel https://www.minimodel.cz/en/ 1:100 a lot of mostly civilian, but look at authors FDS (Stryker APC, BRDM-2, Humvees, Gaz Tigr, M548, Renault Sherpa), Technik (mostly civilian vehicles, but were used in World War 2: Tatra 85 and 27, OA vz.30, hanomag gigant, mercedes L10000)
Landships Landships II have a collection of quite exotic models: World war 1, interwar and Spanish civil war, the scale is often not quite certain, but they are often simpler and can be resized into 1:87 or 1:100
Boxstudio 箱之工房 - 紙戦車工房 beautiful but often quite difficult tanks in 1:72
Littlesoldiers has Universal Carrier and Renault R35 in 1:72 http://www.littlesoldiers.net/miniat...nault_r35.html
http://www.littlesoldiers.net/miniat...l_carrier.html
Satoshi Yoshioka's site is sadly dead, but this is an archive, that seems to be working for me: https://web.archive.org/web/20160801....jp/~yoshidom/
that is all I can think of, I believe all are legitimate sources of free models.

The scales on the Landships II models are stated - either in the heading or the text with the model.

There are a couple of Russian sites which have models in 1:50 which are easily scalable:

Tinchik Model Industry -https://vk.com/docs-61798606

Robototehnik - https://vk.com/album-53733134_201381877

World of Tanks has a whole raft of 1:50 models but it's the .ru website not the others -https://worldoftanks.ru/ru/media/10/?page=1

Paperrepublik has a number of 1:50 tank models

Military

Regards,

Charlie

Sorry, yes, the Landships have the scale stated, either in the file, header or text on the page, each author does it in their own way

thanks!
i have one question though, i've noticed in Yoshioka's models that there is a scale ruler for 1:100 too (they are made mainly in 1:72), but i'm not sure how to re-scale them

You can change the scale in your printer settings. To print a 1/72 at 1/87 you will need to print the document at 83%. If you want to go from 1/100 to 1.87 you will need to print at 115%.

I use Foxit pdf reader and when you select print it will give you the option of scaling the output, and it is easy to use.

Emil Zarkov :: ModelArt :: Card Models :: ZarkovModels Store has an easy to use scale calculator and also quite a selection of models
