WMS models are 1/1250 and of course the Hein Mucks were 1/1250.
A lot of scale is very subjective and in some cases a manufacturer will produce a model for 30 odd years
take the Hansa Battle Class Destroyer the models are exactly the same but come in two different lengths nearly 3mm difference.
HDS are listed as 1/1250 but versions produced by Ensign were 4% smaller than the HDS Model due to a casting being used to make a mould which does not allow for shrinkage when the metal solidifies.
I know where you are coming from on e-bay descriptions for Manufacturer and Scale are all over the place and i am pulled up occasionally when i get it wrong.
At the end of the day to me if the model looks right then i am happy.
