Hai,
I am primarily a 1/48 builder.
But i notice that there are two aircraft scales that are very close to each other: 1/35 and 1/32.
Do we modelers actually have an interest in maintaining both scales?
Or would we recommend manufacturers to concentrate on 1/35 because it gives better options to combine the planes with the wealth of vehicles that exist in this scale?

I haven't seen any 1/35 aircraft other than the new Bronco L4. 1/35 is mainly a helicopter scale to go along with the myriad of 1/35 ground vehicles and figures since helos work closely with ground troops. I say keep both scales.

Like Gino said... Keep both 'cause 1/35 is mainly a helicopter scale

1/35th was invented, by Tamiya, because it was the smallest scale, that they could go to, into which they could put an electric motor. 1/32nd matches Gauge 1, in the railway scales.
