| From my fastidious consumer viewpoint, three considerations come to mind: 1) cost; 2) wider variety; and 3) space considerations. |
But...if we are talking about a certain scale becoming the "standard" to the exclusion of all other scales, will the "variety" rationale still stand for choosing 1/72 over 1/48?
I would think not, given that your scenario is predicated on the idea that all manufacturers will be limited to a single scale, be it 1/48, 1/72 or whatever scale you might select.
In other words, if 1/48 becomes the standard scale for Corgi, CW, FOV, HM, FM, etc., does it not follow that the variety of 1/48 aircraft molds and liveries will increase?
