Re: Icon Scale concerns.
Thanks for pointing out the Mk IV's were a bit large. I knew that. Same for the SdKfz 251/1, also a bit too large. The 251's are too large because the 250's are too large and at the time I had no time and NO desire to go back and repair umpteen SdKfz 250 Icons so the 251's wouldn't look totally out of place. It was a design decision and after studying the effect in the game I decided to leave well enough alone. They've been like that for years now. I dispute the accuracy of the "aren't even close" comment though. Most of what "aren't even close" is fender.
I looked at the attachment. IDK where you get your dimensions from but I would say the length of you Icon is 2 pixels too short but there are a wide range of "hull lengths" in various "good" sources for Pz IV's. I've seen as short as 17 feet 9 inches up to 19 feet 5 inches though the 5.88m - 5.92m dimension pops up the most which would make the vehicle at this scale 39 pixels long ( rounded up ) Your example is 37 and mine, without the rear shadow line is 41 but then, you could be using a different source for your dimensions.
I usually include a shadow line along the rear of the tank as well as the lower side but that's just what I do. You can do whatever you like.
