Size difference
Posted by Srpuln10 on Monday, January 6, 2020 7:31 PM

How much difference is 1/35 from 1/48. I ordered a two kits for a diaroma and didn't realize that's one 1/35 and other 1/48. Help fast cause I can contact customer service and swap a ki for another if the size is off. Both kits are tamiya

Thay are vastly different and cannot be used together unless you are doing a forced perspective dio where the size is used to represent a great distance between them. 

As an example, these are the same type of Tiger tank in 1/35 and 1/48 next to eachother.

They can be used in forced perspective, such as in shadow boxes. 

I've always wanted to build one.

1/35 is ~37% larger than 1/48

And yes - great for forced perspective.  I've always wanted to do a gulf of sidra incident.  I have a 1/144 F14 need a 1/48 su22 (1981) or 1/48 mig 23 (1989)

Thanks,

John
