Will it be 1:48 or 1:32 scale?

I thought I saw it available as a 1:72 diecast a while back but I forgot which maker, maybe Corgi.

i learned on Wikepedia that the Finns actually used the swastika on thier planes since 1918. i thought it was for recognition for the Germans.

Hobby Master makes beautiful 1:48th scale models. I have all the Buffalo models that have been released so far, and I like them all. I just got their P-26 in both the Army Air Corp, and the Chinese paint schemes, they are really nice also.
