[WWI] 1/35 or 1/32?

[Magnus Berggren]

Thanks for the links. Always nice to look a models.

And yes, I agree that there are models out there. Not many though, and few 
of them are up to the standards of today.
I don´t know how many of you who have any interest in off topic armour, but 
the latest releases from Dragon/DML and Tamiya are very, very nice. For 
those of you who at least accept pre-wwii stuff, I can recommend Tamiyas 
Char B from the heart. It´s truly an amazing kit.

What I really wanted to say, is that with so few subjects, even with the 
ones you include here, wwi-armour could almost be considered to be 
unexploited, and then I would find it sad to see 1/35 again. And this 
because of the possibility to cross between aircraft and armour.
1/35 isn´t a bad scale. It gives possibilities for very good detailing, and 
still in reasonable size. But every time I start planning a diorama, I think 
about the possibilies that would open if it had been 1/32.
