Iain Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Great subject - and I'd have one like a shot at 1:32... Iain Out2gtcha and wunwinglow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 An autogyro by definition is much closer to a plane than helo. Too bad they chose 35th, but their call I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunwinglow Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Pass. BECAUSE of the stupid scale, and no other reason. Would have definitely had one if it had been in 1:32. D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see more aviation subjects in a proper scale, rather than in a somewhat niche scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 1/35th is an abomination that Tamiya should have never started in the first place. 32nd was already here when they came up with that highly unnecessary scale. An autogyro is much closer to an aircraft than a helo. This thing should have been put out in 32nd. LSP_Ron and wunwinglow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tamiya had not muddied the waters with its abomination, this question simply wouldn't arise. Everything would have been compatible with everything else, however you wanted to use it. They must feel complete idiots running their own aircraft at a different scale to the armour. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.... Anyway, no 35th aviation scale kits will pass my threshold.... Yuk. D Bellis and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.... Anyway, no 35th aviation scale kits will pass my threshold.... Yuk. As I have stated before on this (& other forums) I am happy to model in any scale and model any subject providing it piques my interest. After all, it’s only a hobby (although by some of the comments I have read it has apparently taken on the form of a quasi-religious undertaking). As for my previous ‘niche’ comment, whilst it is true that 32nd scale was the ‘grandfather’ of large scale modelling, it was overtaken many, many, years ago by 35th scale. Whilst some may not like it, it is true. When it comes to the variety and numbers of kits, the numbers of manufacturers, the aftermarket providers, etc, etc, it is obvious 32nd scale was surpassed some time ago. The recent rise of new manufacturers and release of kits, the likes of which we never thought we would see, in 32nd scale is to be both applauded and admired; WNW, HKM, ICM, Zoukei-Mura, etc, etc, produce superb offerings and occasionally less than superb offerings (Hobby Boss?), but produce them nonetheless. However, it shouldn’t be forgotten this is a very recent phenomenon. It wasn’t that many years ago when 32nd LSP modelling was in the doldrums and I can fervently remember talk of its demise. Whilst 32nd LSP modelling has, just like but not on the same scale (no pun intended) as 35th scale entered a golden age, however compared to 35th scale it is a niche product. That does not mean it is a lesser product, simply that based on volume of goods produced, smaller. I wish there were far more 35th scale LSP models produced, which, by the way, doesn’t mean I want to see fewer 32nd LSP models, there is room for both. I congratulate MiniArt (and before them Bronco and Hobby Boss, nee Tristar) for trying, or at least attempting something different - more power to their elbow IMHO. If you don’t like it or don’t want it fine, you are fully entitled to you view and opinion and you can show your disinterest, or dislike, by refraining from doing so. But hatred....for a modelling scale! That sounds more like a fundamentalist zealot than an enthusiast. EvilCarrot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I dont believe a single person has said they hate 1/35th or even used the word hate. It was a highly unnecessary move by Tamiya that muddied the water, but unlike dislike, hate takes effort and devotion. Just because I may not like something doesnt mean I devote any time to thinking about it or dwelling on it. AAMOF unless its brought up, I dont think about 1/35th at all really.
