I've put a 1/12 there as well just to so the progression, it would be great if they made a 1/12 a 1/10 a 1/8 and a 1/6 of the same model the effect would be amazing when put together. I for one would buy all four kits.

Yes was surprised Ken when I started model making with scales. I had noticed the difference when producing architectural drawings but that was in two dimensions.


We tend to think linear wise I think when we see 1/32 1/48 1/72. But it is the volume which is spectacular as the scale is in 3 dimensions ie 1/32 1/72 comparison is very approx half the dimension for 1/72 in height width and length.


When I spied the larger model I thought it was 1:1 full size. Very authentic.

Yep scale sizes and measurements very important especially this time of year.........View attachment 112877



............and yes the one on the right would be the favourable option....

Or 3 of the right just about right. Although Peroni would be much better.

Try a 1/72 Spitfire next to a 1/24 Spitfire


Seriously, I do understand your point. I've been surprised myself on occasion.
