I was wondering if there are kits availabe of cranes and support vehicles (German WWII) in 1/144 because I have the Type VII in backorder (hoping it to be delivered soon) and I was kind of thinking of doing the box-art as a dio.
The box-art shows the submarine (mine-layer version) to be stowed with it’s deadly cargo being taken from a truck by crane and loaded on the ship.
Thanks for any replies…
check out your local railway model shops.
They should have N scale scenery accessories/kits.
Although they are strictly speaking at 1/160 scale but often used in 1/144 scale diorama.
Thank you, so N-scale can be combined with 1/144 than ?
The difference in the scales, using 1:160 scale details on a 1:144 scale subject, is 11% smaller [(144-160)/144].
The choice to use N-scale items with a 1:144 subject is entirely up to you. As a matter of personal choice I try to limit the scale differences to 10%.
As it turns out, using 1:144 accessories on a 1:160 model turns out to be exactly 10% [(160 - 144)/160]. I’m planning on using some of the new resin & PE guns & details from White Ensign on an Iron Shipwright 1:160 scale PC461 patrol craft
Ok, thanks for the infor [:)] All that is need now is the mailman bringing my “Minenleger”
As a side note:
for 1/100 dio you can use either HO scale or TT scale though there isn’t much of choice with TT scale. (HO scale is around 1/87 while TT is 1/100)
And for 1/60 scale you can use either S scale or 1/72 scale kits
