I have among others item 1683853. 
At least seen the photos in the catalog equal to my item.
But the scale is 1:32 and now I wonder how big is that actually?
The item I own is about 2.4 cm high.
There are no further indications on the model by brand or anything like that so I only found it by comparing in the catalog.
Or should I look for another series?
Perhaps someone here has one answer, thanks in advance.

If a person is really 1.80m, then 1:32:  180/32=5.6 cm or I think too simple

Yes, that's what I had thought too, but maybe the scale indication is not right in the catalog or I should look for another series because my copy is a lot smaller and I don't believe that the English were that small in that period. Because my model is exactly the same in execution.

If you look at item 4736831 there are the same items that I also have, but in the ratio 1:76, which would of course work out much better with my copy.
So item 1683853 is incorrect in terms of ratio or is it a different series or should i just search or re-enter elsewhere.

Thank you for this answer, should have found it myself but didn't look at those boxes.
But then the next question comes up.
How can I tell if I have the items from 1977 or 1989?
Is it wise to enter the items in the catalog as being the series of 5005?
Thx again in advance for thinking along.

The only difference I can see is the color
1977


1989

And if the figure is not yet 'loose' in the catalogue, then I can put it in there.

Thank you all for the help. Enter it as a separate figure in due course.

Skroets Hi Albert, I'm a bit late but wanted to respond anyway. Toy soldiers (from the official manufacturers such as Matchbox, Airfix or Esci) usually come in 2(4) scales 1.32(1.35) or 1.72 (1.76) (the latter scale is by far the most common) the higher the number after the decimal point, the higher the number. smaller the figure is. If you are interested in soldiers bigger than that one figure, the site "plasticsoldierreview" is a must.

A comment is always good. It has become a lot clearer now. Didn't really know about it but was curious after I got some from friends. Will also check out the site. Thanks for that. grt. Albert.
