The 1/35 tank would look huge compared to a 1/48 A-10. You could do a forced perspective dio. Suspend the A-10 from a rod over your base. Get a 1/72 or even better a HO Scale (1/87) Roco Minitank as your knocked out vehicle and place it on the base. It would look like the A-10 was flying over its victim.
