If it was Border's intention to produce kits in 1/35 in order to be compatible with military vehicles, I have yet to see them produce these vehicles...where are the bowsers, maintenance people, flightline equipment,  etc...?

Oh wow! That's quite the surprise! 

I know Border gets some bad rep around here due to some inaccuracies and being 1/35 scale and well bad instructions. However new tooled ME-262 and SBD will be amazing! For me the Border kits goes together very well and the details are plentiful, so im very excited with this news!

There was a silhouette of a MiG-21 from Rye Field Models about 16 months ago. Still waiting to find out if that's amounting to anything, and in what scale. 

 

I'd take more notice if these were neglected LSP 1960s jets, where aerospace ground support vehicles would be essential diorama extras too, but 1:35 WW2 props is just reinventing a slightly more compact wheel. Great if you don't already have a built/stashed 1:32 collection, not so good if you do.

MB,

 

I don't ever recall either seeing and/or hearing any announcement from Border, or anyone connected to them, in relation to a comparable range of 1/35 airfield equipment/vehicles. It may happen or it may not. If it does. great. Either way I don't see the necessity for so doing just to confer some form of validity for producing LSP's in 1/35.

 

That said I don't remember seeing any of the major 1/32 LSP kit manufacturers having bothered over the last 30+ years to produce a vast array [or any for that matter] of equivalent vehicles in 1/32. Possibly CSM might in the future with their WW1 range but who knows?

 

I like both 1/32 LSP's and 1/35 LSP's [and vehicles] so either way I'm in clover, especially if Border produce a 1/35 LSP that the 1/32 kit manufacturers have neglected or couldn't be bother to produce. I do have one nice airfield diorama awaiting based on a real image with a Pz.Kpfw.I deployed as a tug pulling a Ju 87 Stuka along on an airfield, I believe somewhere in North Africa. Now if someone wanted to produce a a 1/32 of a Pz.Kpfw.I that would be great then I could produce two diorama's, one in each scale depicting the scene. 

 

Greetings from the Kingdom of the Rheged,
