A lot of them are produced by Takom, whose Chinese (Japanese) Tankette I built lately. It was an enjoyable experience and I just found on Scalemates, that two more 16 scale kits are supposed to surface this year. The Jeep is made by Takom and the video shows it with engine and figure, nice touch. The other kit is from Andy's Hobby Headquarters and it's still in pre production status. It's a M4A3E8 Sherman in 1/16. Cheers Rob I cracked and pre-ordered the Jeep. 64 bucks shipped seems pretty reasonable for such a large kit, so I couldn't resist spending money I haven't made yet on something they haven't made yet.... Hopefully, I will pay this one off by the time the E8 Sherman comes out for preorder......cuz that one will probably get me too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see this today on The Modeling News. Both the scale and subject are unexpected. Very cool! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 What a shame I would have bought a 1/32 scale version in a heartbeat but not a 1/35 scale kit. Cheers Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis I’ll be unashamedly in the camp of the moaners and complainers. To summarize my feelings : WTF ? 1/35 is already a weird, « in-between » scale in itself. But to apply it to a WWII torpedo bomber that will in 99.9 % of the cases never be displayed near an armoured or utility vehicle is just preposterous ! And I will repeat myself: if you think 1/35 is an inconsequential difference to 1/32, I hope you will rethink about it with this simple math truth: a 1/35 aircraft occupies 76 % of the volume of the same in 1/32. I can bet this will become one day a business study case : « How to minimise the ROI of a good idea » End of the rant. Hubert 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Great subject but I'll be also taking a pass, due to the kit being in 1/35 scale. I can understand why they did their Stuka in 1/35 but haven't bought it either due to the scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I think it's a wonderful surprise whatever the scale, and I may be a purchaser. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Hats off to to Border for bringing another kit to market irrespective of scale. We would all bemoan the fact that there were no new subjects or products. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Infinity Models is planing Kate in 1/32. Life is good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 But the question remains: why 35th scale? Other forums, much larger then ours, the overall response has been very negative and 'not going to buy' strictly based on scale. I would be very interested in a response from Border as to why their choice of scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Thank goodness! I've been waiting for a 35th Kate so I can finally build that diorama with my KH Blackhawk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see more Japanese subjects including early or inter-war stuff. The scale doesn't bother me so much as I don't have many other aircraft to display it with.....it wouldn't look out of place! But ,then again, I Did build a 1/18 V1 flying bomb! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Ppl that complain about scale obviously don't want to build the model very much. It's one thing when what you want is in a ridiculously tiny scale. But a small difference like that... meaningless. Really... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
