Artful69 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Now that IS a weird choice ... Is the this the start of the "Great scale Reset"??? Rog Dany Boy, Troy Molitor and Derek B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IV Ausf.F1 a few months ago, very impressive kit, but those two kits seem ludicrous, it pains me immensely to say it, but I hope they don't sell, and they switch to 1/32. Paramedic, D.B.

abbadur Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I am fan of 1/72 and 1/32 scale a/c models, but these 1/35 kits fit very well to military vehicles of the same scale - so, it's very good for me. viper, scvrobeson, Woody V and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 If these were kits of crashed planes I could see some logic behind it. However, as such, this looks like a very bad move... Ask car modellers if they appreciate the 1/24-1/25 incompatibility... wunwinglow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 And regarding the compatibility with military models, what can you use besides a German fighter except a truck or a Kubel? Certainly not a Panzer ! D.B. Andrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbk57 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I only care if the kit is good. I am not worried about a difference between 1/35 and 1/32. If it is interesting I won't rule it out. I built the border panzer iv though and did not love it. Some of it was great, some not so great. For example, the way the running gear was designed I assumed it would all sit level, it did not. Some wheels were up some down. Also the fit of the gun mechanism was not so great. If the cockpit, wheel wells etc are well done, I would consider building one, the down side is all the decal options from AM out there are in the wrong scale for it. But I would not boycott the kit just because it is in the "wrong scale" Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul2660 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Look like well done kits, as previously mentioned their armor kits that have been released have been both well done and well received. 1/35 vs 1/32 will not be a factor for me. Can someone tell the difference between the two scales from 12 inches away? How much larger will a 1/35 scale 109 be vs a 1/32? The Stuka, should be very nice, noting the details around the 37mm guns. And the 109, seems to have well done details but hard to tell from the pictures alone. As far as accuracy, have to leave that to the experts. Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Sorry, I'm out. I just don't see the logic in their decision. Out2gtcha and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Good scale for AVF and airbase dioramas I would guess. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Looking at the Bf 109 parts breakdown and parts shapes (engine bearers, spinner) it appears that this model shares the same shape issues as the Trumpeter Bf 109 kits.

Paul C Well close to one inch in length (2,44cm) is not what I consider to be a small difference for a small single seater! Obviously if the kit is alone on a base the difference will not jump to the eyes but close to any other 1/32 kit this will be another thing. Moreover they still have to foster the development of aftermarket decals amongst other items. Who will invest in developing 1/35 plane aftermarket when profitability is already questionable in 1/32?
