I never do armor so I am ignorant of the scales and what is available. I am currently buildiung the Trumpeter 1:32nd corsair and want to set a scene on a south Pacific island. What would you all put in this in terms of say jeeps and any other trucks or vehicles, who makes it and I assume the scale best fit would be 1:35. Do you notice a huge difference between 1:32 and 1:35?
Thanks in advance.
There is only about a 9% difference in size between 1:35 and 1:32. If you staged distances between them properly you could probably make it work ok… at least the figures would work well as there is a vast difference between people is sizes…
I agree, most figs in 1:35 scale would work fine for a 1:32 dio. I’m not really sure about vehicles though, as a 10% discrepancy would be noticeable. But as Scorn said, depending on how you chose to orient your dio, you could make it work. Try posting in the dio forum, I’m sure people there will have other suggestions.
There are a number of kits of jeeps in 1:35 scale. Also, the number of accessories available in 1:35 is a VERY large list, and that could allways be used to fill up space as well…
Yeah what they said… but one other thing… since you have set foot on the darkside… YOU WILL BE BACK!! I PROMISE!!!
could be one of those rare wingie thingies shot down by a tank shell. i’ve done it a few time in BF42 [:D]
You probably shouldn’t visit this site, it’s full of wierdos…[:D][;)]. Especially those guys who make US, German or any other country’s armor. Also, 1/35 and 1/32 scale figures mix pretty well because people come in different heights sometimes.[;)]
Welcome to Armor! Yes, you’ll be back (don’t tell anybody but I’m working on a U-Boat instead of a tank right now)…

Hey, Ron, glad to see you’re keeping such a tight lid on that!! lol
Are you doing the new VIIc from Revell/Germany?? How do you find the kit?
Bill,
I think it’s an awsome kit! The price isn’t bad and there’s almost 3’ of U-boat to play with (my tub isn’t quite big enough unless I scrooch over to one side). I like it so much I went out and bought a slew of U-Boat books to bone up on while I build it.
If you like Das Boot, you’ll like this kit. I personally think it’s destined to become another classic (like the Monogram B-17G, or the Tamiya Sherman).
Ron
Cool! Thanks, Ron. Are we going to see your build in FSM??
