those will be some big models. Interesting choice of 1/35 scale. Will probably cheese off some 1/32 guys.

well it works well with 1/35 figures and armour.

I know the Tristar Fi-156 was a huge hit with armour guys, esp with the pre-painted greenhouse..since I hate masking those even on 1/32 planes.

I definitely would like to see these. Wonder if you could display that stuff with some 1:32.

Kinda like the 1:16, 1:18 guys do.

1/35 items can be used as background items to 1/32 scale.

the size differance can imply distance.

I wouldn't mind doing that for a C-47 and a glider.
That's just too nice a set up to pass on.
You know it would be huge anyways.

I am thinking resupply with the Junkers, and maybe completing the Tristar Fi-156c on the shelf for something else to add.

Anyways ANY Dio with those would be HUGE, I know of 1/2 partial Ju52 1/35 dio..just the front nose, cockpit and one wing part and it's huge.

Huge is what we do here!

Though I just don't think you can get as much going with 1:18 as I would like. Especially in the twin engine aircraft department.

I'm thinking these will be a little too rich for me.

Consider this 1/32 guy cheesed.

Plus, I can't build models worth a crap. Begin whine about lack of cheap 1/32 models now...

Junkers and C47s are easy, No real camo jobs on either plane.

Least nothing complex like the Me110s or Beufighter 1F I have in boxes.

Yeah I honestly think I could do a Junkers, some two shade green camo, yellow cowlings... Now that I think about it... I need to build more models, just pick stuff with simple paint. I just hate that enamel takes so long to dry... especially when something is multi-sided.

you don't need the yellow cowlings.

depending on the date it might just be one RLM green and not split, like the Hs123 I posted in 1/32 and I have pics of single green storch.

2nd line planes didn't get the detail always.

Anybody got any comparison pics of 1:32 next to 1:35?
Actually wouldn't mind seeing 1:34 comparison too if any.


I wouldn't mind expanding there because of the closeness of scales, and number of vehicles available.

aircraft no, actually I don't even have armour to do a test shot.

I have 1.35 tanks and 1.32 planes and side by side, most people who see the shelves, see just tanks and planes with no change in scale.
