Just curious what the favorite scale is here.

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

I was ordering some things from an on-line retailer earlier as well as looking at what I currently have and I realized that my favorite scale is 1/72. I was just curious what everyone prefers here.

Sorry if this has been posted before.

1/48 for me.

Depends on what I’m building, really… smaller single engine aircraft, I’d rather have 1/48 or 1/32 scale. Bombers or civilian transportation aircraft, 1/72 or 1/144.

I’m a big 1/48 fan myself.Mostly because of these little clubs I call fingers.The extra detail is nice too.

5

1/48th.

6

1/48, 1/144, 1/72 and 1/32 in that order.

7

Ditto. Anything smaller is for people with little fingers. Which is ok. [;)]

8

I prefer 1/48, but make a few exceptions every now and then (like when I build cars)[:P]

9

1/72 for most subjects though I prefer 1/200 for airliners and other big beasts…

10

1/72, still not convinced about 1/48, but then I have only built one kit in that scale and 5 in 1/72!

Subject to change.

I love 'em all so much I don’t really have a favorite…!!!

I’ll take 1/48 - but in my early days 1/72 cos it was easier to buy kits with my pocket money as a youngster! Have done 144’s, 200’s, 32’s & box-scales, but I rather keep all my kits within the same scale of 48’s now (I’m just waiting for a B-52 to be released in this scale lol)

13

I’m in with the 1/48th scale crowd. Mainly because of my eyesight, in addition to my ham fists!

14

My favorite is by far is 1/48th. But for modern bombers 1/72nd is what I deal with due to the size.

15

1/48 but I do build in the other scales when I find something interesting.

16

I tend toward 1/48 (at least for aircraft), but in the last year i’ve built models in 1/8, 1/16, 1/24, 1/25, 1/48, and 1/144. On my bench I currently have models in 1/32, 1/48 and 1/72 (and a figure in 200mm).

I guess the subject is more important than the scale.

I like 1/59.7 scale myself, but no one has ever made a kit in it, so I settle for 1/48 [:D]

18

Mine is 1/72 scale. I like consistency across the board; that’s why I also model my Armor in 1/72 scale as well.

19

That picture reminds me of what I want to do to a JU288 I am attempting to build. It too is in 1/72 scale and the itty bitty windows are driving crazy!

If I didn’t put so much work into it, I would think about a CRASHdiorama.

Oh and scale wise, any one that is big enough so that I can find parts the go flying across the room!
