Dave Williams Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 13 hours ago, Confusionreigns178 said: I seem to remember reading that ICM were planning to produce their new AH-1G kits in both 1/32nd and 1/35th scales. For very obvious reasons, that plan might well be on hold at the moment. Chris. If ICM had originally released the Cobra in 1/35, it probably still would have sold well. People have come to accept helicopters (grudgingly or not) in 1/35 scale, but releasing it in 1/32 and then later 1/35 never made a lot of sense. All of those people who already spent the money on the 1/32 kits, plus all the aftermarket for it, are unlikely to spend again on a 1/35 release. If the plan is actually on hold, it’s probably because common sense creeped in for releasing in both scales, not because people wouldn’t have wanted a 1/35 Cobra. Aircraft in 1/35 scale are different. 1/32 has become by far the defacto large scale for airplanes, and few people are interested in a 10% smaller scale version. Border Model making a few kits in 1/35 isn’t going to change 1/32’s dominance for aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Gadbois Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) I’ve been waiting for a nice 1/32 Jeep and other light vehicles to go with my 1/32 kits. Looks like I am actually more likely to be getting 1/35 aircraft that will fit with the available 1/35 vehicles I have already… I thought the 1/35 aircraft kits were heresy at first, but if they keep it, there is potential there in the future.

rjones726 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Since (IMO) the only "decent" IJN airplane from Pearl Harbor, available in large scale, is the A6M2, I'm pretty happy that I'll soon be able to build both a Val and a Kate . I guess I'm unique I that I'm not wrapped around the axle by the scale. Having said that-I am curious as to why Border picked 1/35th. Maybe their market research guy didn't do his homework Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 What would be hilarious is that now that Border starts a line of 1/35th aircraft, Tamiya starts a line of 1/32nd AFV's! esarmstrong, Smokeyforgothispassword, Iain and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyforgothispassword Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 It looks like it’s going to be a great kit and it’s not another messyspitwolfstang! The scale is fine with me, I don’t have a 1/1 example in the garage to measure so I’m not concerned, perhaps they could have made it in 1/32 to appease the scale junkies and therefore made a few more sales, but as I tried to drunkenly intimate, for me it’s the subject, not the scale.

Unless you’re exposing your model side-by-side with others or in a diorama, it doesn’t make sense to know that it’s 1/32 or 1/33.5. Especially when it’s a model you’ve waited all your lifetime to happen. Keep in mind that one only needs his own eyes to assess a scale model. No need for a micrometer, a spectroscope or a Wood’s lamp to tell if a model is good or not… despite what the judges in model shows say.

thierry laurent Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 To each his own but personally I do not need a micrometer to see a 10% size difference... dennismcc, Iain, D Bellis and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB252 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Im disapointed Whit 1/35 scale, It would be in 1/32 scale I built one We can do pressure towards the maker Border for listen the modelers We could choose one day, and together sends hundres or thousands of email request them donin 1/32 scale Maybe It do anything. If the sales in 1/35 scale do not work maybe they think about 1/32 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
