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

Probably let the kit fit into a standard box size……very strange to pick that scale but leave the aircraft range in 1/32 though……loads of things made in 1/32, not many found outside of the plastic kit world in 1/35.

I think he’s actually meant to be posed slightly more to the left (as viewed) and turned towards the woman a bit more … ;)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:35_...had been chosen,of their rather awkward scale. <<< Tamiya explains why

quote:

Company chairman Shunsaku Tamiya explains the origins of the scale in his book Master Modeler: ISBN 4770028512.

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.
