| Re: One scale and one scale only - what would you choose? (aircraft & armour)
Even though I prefer 1/72nd, ultimately I would have to go with 1/144th. For one thing, if companies are going to make models of big (really big) planes, they tend to make them in 1/144th. Also, it seems like it is easier from a manufacturing standpoint to make the models in a smaller scale, so we end up with a wider variety of aircraft. Hypothetically (the dreaded H-word!), if a company decided to bless us by making a model of every type of aircraft that has ever flown, and can only do so in one scale, I would think they would go with 1/144th. Storage space is not an issue with the consumer with this scale.
I don't collect armor, so my opinion applies only to airplanes. |
