Have to agree with the others above. 1/32 and 1/35 are close enough to mix, even figures. As long as constant items are the same scale; weapons, packs, canteens, etc. The scale diferance will not be noticed. Just take a look around at people, no two are the same size, therefor figures can be different sizes as well.

I mix 1/32 cars, helos, aircraft, and planes with 1/35 armor and accessories all the time. Check my showcases below to see some.

Sounds like an interesting dio, big, but interesting. Be sure to post some pics when done.

There isn't that much difference(unless you're a rivet counter) most people won't know the difference, so go for it

That's what I was thinking, too. I've seen/heard of a lot of people using 1/32 cars in dios with 1/35 armor and you can't really notice the differences.

I say, if its what you want to do, then go for it! But most importantly, post some photos so we can see it, too!

Unless you had a scale ruler as part of your diorama 99% of folks wouldn't know difference. Go for it! Only if had the same type models side by side would you really notice the size difference.

Clear Left!

hey guys, im working on an iraqi diorama. it has an M1, a hummer, an SA-2 site, and a proposed blown up BMP(havent started), and a AH-1W. what i was asking is that if i had my way i would like a Mig-21 in the sand with a hasty sand camo on it. but alas, there are no 1/35 aircraft. my dad said "use 1/32" i said that you would be able to notice, but would you really?
