aircraft/ armour scale compatibility

why tanks and vehicles are made in 1/35, mainly 1/43 and a/c in 1/48, 1/32, 1/24, 1/72 etc.
How it is possible to make a diorama in 1/48 or in 1/32.
thank god they produce 1/72 armour kits.

Hi, Thyamis.
A lot of folks just ignore the difference between 1/35 and 1/32, and happily model away.

There are quite a number of armor kits in 1/48 as well, so plenty of possibilites there.

There are even quite a few 1/24 and 1/25 armor kits.

So, we do have some choices!

Some military aircrafts are now coming out in 1/35 scale. I think Academy? (I could be wrong) came out with 1/35 Blackhawk(for modern armour dio). Panda makes 1/35 Hueys (good for Vietnam dio).

I guess we just have to wait for a while.

gee i did not know that there are 1/48 armour many thanks from me …(not from my wallet though)…lol

One thing that’s being done in diorama circles is the forced perspective approach. This can be truly unique and quite an eye-catcher when done in a shadowbox format. An example woul be to have, say, a 1/48 P-51 flying toward you, with a 1/72 BF-109 giving chase. The same could be done in amor: a standoff between a 1/35 Sherman and a 1/72 Tiger in the “distance”.

WOW!! thanks styrene!! that is a totally awsome idea. It just gave me an idea of building some sort of tank buster pulling up with the kit tank well below er somethin like that…but thanks for that really great idea!
