1/200th scale? I'm curious why...

I noticed on HMC that the upcoming Mig-29 and Tornado are going to be 1/200th scale rather than 1/72nd.

I have to ask why? 1/72, 1/48, 1/32, 1/200....what's next 1/18th?

I don't know that I like this.

I would've prefered the MiG-29 and Tornado in 72nd scale myself but, C'est la vie....

1/144 and 1/200 scales are more popular in asia. I'll bet this is where the majority of the market will be.

When I received my first 1/200s a few days ago I kinda fell for them, so I'm very happy that HM is releasing these models. To all those amongst you who may want to try something new, just order one 1/200 model from Herpa or WAC, and see how you feel about it!

Yeah I really like the 1/200 Tomcat, but still 1/72nd is best for me. But nevertheless, i', collecting 1/200 so i can have more planes in less space
