so surely 1/32 would have given the Tamiya designers even more room for their batteries....
I think 1/35 was pure perversity

After the success of the Panther, I thought it would be a good idea for us to produce other tanks from different countries in the same scale. I measured the Panther and it turned out to be about 1/35 of the size of the original. This size had been chosen simply because it would accommodate a couple of B-type batteries. Tamiya's 1/35 series tanks eventually got to be known around the world, but this is the slightly haphazard origin of their rather awkward scale.

D'ya get the Flak and crew with it?....
... That's the deal breaker for me
Edit, just looked one up on Scalemates, not a lot of info,but it does state the wingspan is 1750mm !!! .... So it's a " NO" from me I'm afraid!!

Honestly though, how on earth could you display it. It’s too big to even hang on the wall……
