Bill Cross Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This video might help some of you 32-scale prudes get over the small differences between it and 1/35th, especially if it means having a Horsa in your collection.

Cees Broere Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I could never do that, assembling the entire cockpit and then painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Great build! He made it look easy................ But yes, a scale snob, and Ill have none of that Tamiya 1/35th nonsense. From an aircraft modelers perspective, when they could have gone with 1/32nd and brought the whole large scale modeling world together, but instead chose to make their own separate scale because.............................., I still very much deem it one of if not THE biggest modeling mistakes since I've personally been in the hobby. Ill likely never let that attitude go either. Absolutely no offence to anyone who models armor on the regular, Its just a sticking point for me, and still sticks in my craw to this day.

Hubert Boillot Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I might be a prude, but a prude that considers that size matters, especially a 10% difference in size Hubert Out2gtcha and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gents, we can't set the clock back 40 years. Besides, there are NO 1/32 paras worth having. Do you want a Horsa or a Horsa in action? If the former, what the **** difference does the scale mean? If the latter, you have no choice but to use the MULTIPLE para kits in styrene and resin out there. I might be a prude, but a prude that considers that size matters, especially a 10% difference in size Hubert That's not what SHE told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Don't get me wrong, the kit and the model are both beautiful. Its just a thing i have with the scale is all. Its a personal hangup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 You and me both, Out2gtcha..... 35th just looks, I dunno, wimpy. To me. I hasten to add. To me. MikeC and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 To be honest, bar the weapons 1/35th and 1/32 mean squat, man comes in multiple sizes, we come as tall and small varieties. The one thing I was shouting at the screen as he was assembling the cockpit was for him to put the control wheels on an equal level as they are after all linked, as they are, they are both at different angles, I wonder if the aileron positions will match with one or the other... Looking forward to part 2.. Uncarina, MikeC, Bill Cross and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dog Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The control wheel thing bothered me too, I kept waiting for him to go back and straighten it, but he did say he was a predominately armor modeler so maybe the significance didn't occur to him.
