I have equal amounts of 1/35 and 1/72. Mainly armor in 1/72 and military trucks in 1/35. I'm still waiting for someone to release a 1/72 HEMTT.

I have everything from 1/76, 1/72 to 1/35, 1/24, 1/25, 1/6. I like 'em all.
My favorites are 1/35 and 1/25.

I do mostly, say 99% in 1/35, but I'll stray into 1/32 or something else every now and then if I get a kit for a gift or something. I don't think I've bought anything in any scale 'cept 1/35 in about 20 years.

I build in 1/35th scale, but I do have a few models in 1/48th and plan on getting the Trumpeter TU-16 and TU-95 in 1/72nd scale. I like the new DML 1/72nd scale armor. I may buy some of them and take them to work when they are finished.

In armor, 1/35 is my favorite, but I really like some of the 1/72 stuff out there.

In wingy thingies, 1/48 is my favorite, but I have quite a few 1/72 also. There are a few 1/32 I'd like to do (like the new Trumpeter Corasir), but they are sooooo bit.

In ships, I take what I can get. I pretty much do only sailing ships, though, so don't do 1/700.

Interesting question.

I've done a few 1/32's and a 1/48 ( planes ), but the rest are 1/35, it's such an easy size to modify and show detail, gotta love it.

All armor is 1/35 so far except for the 1/72 one I have in progress right now probally safe to say after experiencing that scale I''ll stick with 1/35.

I like 1/35th scale. 1/72 is a to small.

1/35 Armor ( I do have a few 1/72 but need to get a microscope, before I attempt one)

If I could, I'd do all 1/25 scale, but as we all know, there's not much selection and even less quality.
And while there are some great 1/72 and 1/76 scale kits out there, if the subject I want to build is offered in a quality 1/35 scale kit, I'll go with that.

I also have a ton of 1/144 scale armor!

I build it all.

I prefer 1/35, but am not above building in 1/72, 1/48, 1/25 or 1/16.
