1:35, but since its a itty bity tank, works out, besides we all know GWs scale aint to scale. I just added the GW bits like shovels and gas cans and threw out the 1/35 scale stuff...like shovels and gas cans, and it works out.
I have not tried Vallejo for a panzer grey application yet, but I would probably start with something like 70.995 German Grey. As I said, there is some contention as to what it actually looked like.
Also, I don't mean to discourage you from that MiniArt kit. If it was me I would pick it up as well as a cheap Tamiya kit like this to practice on first. You can also use it to test various finishing techniques before moving on to the MiniArt.
If you're talking about the World of Tanks line of 1:35 model tanks, it's an iffy decision, unless you've got some model building under your belt. The kits are pretty old italeri molds which mean that they're not as accurate as some newer kits, but they're good enough. The worst part of the World of Tanks model kits are the tracks. They are god awful and will break when you try to put them on your tank, leaving you with a disappointing result. Yeah, you get some gold and some nice in game bonuses, but in my opinion, unless you have some spare tracks lying around that are better than the in-box italeri tracks, I'd probably buy a good old Tamiya kit. Easy to build, good tracks, little to no fuss, your just have to buy some Tamiya extra thin cement.
I just finished my AMX-30B from MENG, and while the tracks and suspension on the kit actually function, it's for advanced modellers and has a really hefty price tag. The tracks were the most painful part as you had to assemble each link (made of multiple parts) by hand 160 times.
Some really easy and cheap and good looking 1/35 builds from Tamiya are:
Panzer II , Walker bulldog ($12-15)
M4 Sherman ($30)
T-34 , Panzer Iv ($20)
Prices are estimates.
PM me if you'd like to chat, and come by /r/modelmakers if you're interested!
Tamiya Panzer II. One of their older 1/35 tanks, goes together pretty well, doesn't cost too much. And, if it's your fancy, it comes with figures- [link] (https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-35-Panzer-Kampfwagen-Ausf/dp/B000WN6OK0)
