I build mostly 1/48 WW2 Aircraft because thats my main historic interest & scale of choice. But, I also build a few more modern AC once in a while & build a few 1/72 also. Have built some armor in the past, but only have one Tank in my kit stash. When I need a break from building I paint figures, both Military & Fantasy subjects. I think most modelers are diverse in their interests.

Regards, Rick

well, i have a stash of about 30 kits myself, which include mostly WWII era fighters, axis and allied. that is where my main passion lies, however, i also have several modern a/c, one piece of armor, and 2 1/35 scale helos. i like 1/48 mostly, but i do have one 1/32 scale kit, and plan to purchase more of them. i also plan to do some 1/24 stuff just for the fun of it. i'm planning to build me a 1/1 house before i start doing the larger scale birds, because i plan to build me a display room too. later.

Not at all! I started with A/C, moved to armor and also doing a ship. Might try other genre in the future. The possibilities are endless in this hobby..actually.

Even if we specialize on a scale or catagory there can still be a great selection of subjects available to build. I personally like 1/72 experimental, prototype, heavy(twin engine prop), and night fighters. Recently I jumped into Sci-Fi modeling and I can't believe how much fun it is.

I think it comes down to my quote line (Build what you like, like what you build) for most modelers. Since we're all different, our reasons for kit selection are different. The more diverse the selection, the stronger the hobby.
That being said, the kits that interest me are all 1/48 WW II aircraft from all participating nationalities.

I'm a bit diverse. I have mostly 1/35 armor. I do have a couple of 1/48 aircraft and one 1/72 aircraft. In addition I have 1-1/700 scale ship and a 1/24 auto.

Am I a Modeling Anomaly?

My current projects are a Monogram 1/24 Corvette, Hasegawa 1/48 P-51K, AMT/Ertl 1/156 AT-AT and soon I will start on a Hasegawa 1/24 Willy’s Jeep (BOTB GB) and a Revell 1/72 Fokker Dr.1 (Mad Fokker Day GB).

In my stash of 25-30 kits I have air, armor, auto and sci-fi in many different scales and from diiferent eras. Seems like most modelers focus on one scale and one type (IE air, armor) of model kit.

Guess I’m just wondering are you a one-scale/one type modeler or all over board (like me) kind of modeler?
