I don't have any Italeri Pz IVs left, and only the Tamiya Mobelwagen from
them, but I have several DML kits. The dimensions of the real thing - APG's
Pz IV - were taken for me by Chuck Rothman.
Overall Width - 113.50 to 113.75; 3.25 in 1/35
Hull Width - 74.50; 2.13 in 1/35
Tamiya: 3.210, 2.130; Error: 1.2%, 0%
DML: 3.220, 2.107; 0.9%, 1.1%
Note that the maximum error in either case is only .04 inches, almost
exactly 1 mm. Not enough to tell in either case, if'n you asked me.
