1/35 Aircraft not helos

Hi, Hogzed.
Hmmm, I don't know of any 1/35 WWII aircraft kits, but I've seen plenty of dioramas incorporating 1/35 AFVs with 1/32 aircraft, and it looks fine to me. Technically the aircraft are too big, but heck, it's only 3 digits off! You probably get more variation than that from manufacturer to manufacturer.

I surmise you are envisioning such a diorama, no?

here's a pic of a 1/32 Stuka with a 1/35 Famo, tank transporter, and Hummel in a beautiful diorama. Looks great to me!



This is from last year's Kansai AFV Meeting here in Osaka. The modeler is Mr. Yoshihiko Atsu.

Hogzed, welcome aboard with your first post.
Yes, the scales are different but you can pull it off.

:)


good luck, have fun,

Hi Hogzed,

Welcome in! This is a great place, you'll enjoy yourself!

I once experimented by doing a diorama on 3 levels and displayed in a acrylic case. Used putty to form rolling meadows, dried moss for tree's, sprayed a mist of flat white over the landscape, to simulate a snow covered landscape about 5,000 ft below the viewers level.... where I mounted a 1/48 T-28B by the left wingtip in the front side of the display box, and a 1/72 T-28B's right wing to the back side of the box, about halfway to the base. Also along the front and back of the inside, I mounted little "L" shaped pieces of sprue, airbrushed some cotton, and made scattered clouds (also camouflaged the wings attachment points with a few passes of the airbrush on the outside.

Viewed from in front/above, and squint your eyes a little bit, and it looked like the T-28's were flying through the air. I sold it to a co-worker before it was finished, and I have never done another one.... it does make for an enjoyable project where several scales may be incorporated. Maybe even a couple P-51's (1/48 & 1/72, or 1/32 & 1/48, strafing through a village or town or ??

Greetings once again and come around anytime!

......... or straffing a train? Hmmmmm.... get's you to thinking, doesn't it?

Oh, sorry Hogzed! I forgot to say "Welcome!"

Welcome!

Oldhooker, that sounds like a pretty cool aerial diorama. Any pix?

Hulk,

I'm afraid not... that was back in 1979 or 80, while I was in the Army and hadn't yet caught on to the idea of photographing my work.

I can illustrate the basic idea of it, however, and one of these days I'm going to do something like this again.

The only plastic 1/35th scale aircraft kits I know 're the 30 years old Nichimo ones....Some jap fighters, if I remember well ( Ki 84 " frank ", Ki 44 " tojo ", Ki 61 " tony ", and the A6M5 Zero, methink ! )
A few years ago, Azimut was talkin' about a L19, but it 's, until today, a " no-show "...!
' ve a nice day...!

Oldhooker: Nice! I get the idea.

Mike the Toad: Do you have more information on Nichimo's 1/35 Japanese aircraft series? I've never heard of 'em!
