1/144 Fiat 626 armor truck from Shapeway - Kampfflieger models

Today I also received the "1/144 Fiat 665 NM Scudato" lorry truck armor version from Shapeway manufacturer - Kampfflieger models. I'm pretty sure its not 1/144 scale ....

Compare to 1/72 SOMUA MCG , and the 1/144 Ko Hi from Shapeway - JARFIR and 1/144 Ho Ha from Dameya , its obvious the scale of 1/144 Fiat 665 NM Scudato is wrong.

May be I should order from far east manufacturer instead ?

Comparing 1/144 Ko Hi armor version between Shapeway - JARFIR , Dameya Ho Ha and Fairy LKW trucks

Today I received the 1/144 kit Ko Hi manufactured by Shapeway - JARFIR, an excellent kit and may be the only available on the market ( the best of my knowledge up to this point)

However, in term of scale it seems matching the kit Japanese LKW kits from フェアリー企画 ( looks like to me its 1/150 rather than 1/144 )

Compare to Ho Ha kit from Dameya its obvious the rest are a little bit bigger.

If you don't mine the scale I will claim the 1/144 Ko Hi armor version is perfect !

recall the same kit from Yahoo Japan @ 2012

1/144 Sd Kfz 251/17 open top from Shapeways

Today I received the Sd Kfz 251/17 open top from Shapeways -Giorgio's Models , and the scale perfectly fits the Sd Kfz 251 & 250 kits from WTM I purchased the last decade ...
