Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 18, 2004 12:10 PM
Hi,

I have always plans to build a dioramas with Tanks and Cars.... However, there are no cars which is builded in 1/35 scale...

Can any one please advise me where to get cars, van, truck in 1/35 scales?

Other than military trucks .... they are few and far between.

Italeri has a Volkswagen Beetle though.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

There are a few 1/32 snap tites around. Not a perfect fit, but you could probably get by.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

You'd think that there would be a company that would create a line of civilian vehicles for dioramas in 1/35. I'm not saying they have to be licensed, trademarked auto companies, but a generic line of cars and small trucks for WWII thru modern wouldn't be too great of a stretch and they'd add that little something to urban dioramas, don't you think?

I use 1/32 scale civilian car and truck models in my 1/35 dioramas often. They work well enough for me. Some of the snap 1/32 civilian vehicles are quite detailed and you can add much more details to them. Check out my gallery photos to see some.

I'll have to file that away for my next (read: first) urban dio. Browsing through your gallery HeavyArty, I can see why you won at TamiyaCon! Just makes me want to get back to the states and dive into my pile of plastic again. Great motivation!

Airfix made several 1/32 cars that work for 60's era. There is a VW Beetle out there that can work just about anywhere from 60's on. Revell/Monogram had a police car that could be made as a regular vehicle. It is currently available with their Firetruck in a combo set.
I also would like to see some decent kits in this scale and in 1/72. In the smaller scale you can use the HO stuff but it is just too small to put under an Abrams.
