[WWI] 1/35 or 1/32?

[Rick Geisler]

Irfix had a couple more I am sure although they escape me at this time. 
(Maybe a Le# and Gran%?) I know Monogram did Sher%ans, and a PZ* IV, then 
some other stuff in 1/35th. It is really a matter of What one is into. If an 
Armor builder I think 1/35th would be preferred. If an Aircraft builder then 
1/32nd for the additional figures and abilit to mix with your aircraft. That 
being said Trucks(Lorries) motorcycles, etc. would be more beneficial than 
MK IVs , and other tracked vehicles. JMHO,
Rick G.
