(Remember the 25 or 28 refers to height to the figures eyeline which is why 25mm figures are not 1:72 scale despite 1.8m / 72 = 25mm.) This works out at:- 28mm 25mm length 10.2m 11.56m width 5.4m 6.12m height 3.72m 4.22m In Stargrunt terms I had imagined this as a size 3 MBT, but maybe I should revise that to size 4. It does look big next to my APC (Scarab from Grendel). IMO most 25/28mm vehicles are too tall. It's hard to model low profiles.
