ebay offering that shows difference in 1/32 and 1/35

[[CAT]CplSlade]

In response to some earlier threads on scales, here is a guy selling a Tamiya Tiger model and a 21C Tiger. With each side by side, you can really see the difference in the two scales.

As you can see, the Tamiya is noticeably smaller and simply would not work in a diorama with 1/32 items unless it was a large scale scene where smaller vehicles can be mounted way in the background.

On the other hand, Trumpeter's 1/35 is larger than Tamiya and so is dragon.
A great post, would be an example of a Tiger I by each of the manufacturers side by side.
21st CENT, FOV, but also Trumpeter, Dragon, Tamiya, Itealeri and Revel, to see who is who.

Now THAT would be a very specific ebay auction.

But yes, that would be nice if only we had someone who has an example of each. Does Revell make any tanks other than the old molds they picked up from Monogram?

I don't think so, but we already know that they are 1/32.
I very much want to see all the other 1/35 scales compared to each other.

Something just happened to me today, I was building an old 1/35 Soviet Katyusha rocket truck, but I have decided to discard it. It's TOO damn small for even 1/35 let alone 1/32. So what I'm going to do, is keep the cab of the truck and bring it to the hobby store, they allow me to view the inside of kits and I'll compare it to the largest 1/35 Katyusha I can find and I'll post my findings.
P.S. I just built the NEW UHU 1:32 by REVELL, it's only $60 it's BIG and a pleasure to build. Get it.

I ordered an He 219, but apparently the guy screwed up mine and 11 other buyers' orders.
