I'd say 1/35th is too well established to go for 1/32. It would be commercial 
suicide for anyone to do so, as the Armour modellers would not buy them. Look 
at the fact that MRC etc made Army helos in 1/35th to sell to Armour modellers.

1/35 is the most popular scale for armour, 1/32 is still a minority scale for 
aircraft modellers, and even less so for armour.
