I remember when there was a unity of 1/32 scale armor and air planes. So when Armor went wild with enthusiasm for what the Japanese and Italians were doing with 1/35 scale. Model aircraft hobbyists just kept on keeping on with what they were doing. By the time the internet got going and sites like Missing Lynx got so popular, I think air plane people got jealous. One thing that I heard 100 times or more was “Go ahead and put a German ME 262 in the diorama, nobody will notice.” The heck they didn’t. Ive suggested using all that wonderful “take a photo and you will have any scale you want.” I know of about 3 or four WW2 1/35th planes on the market. What Border is doing is nothing short of offering an opportunity to add untold possibilities for our hobby.

It would be a great dio base, An ME 109 or Stuka on the ground being refueld/bombed up etc … but it would be big … look cool though
With an approximated wingspan of 40cm and 30cm long, it will dwarf any tank or truck you put close to it 
Spot on Cliff…
Loving this, more 1/35 aircraft please.

1/32? or 1/35?
Hey Light, the ones I thought of are 2 US Gliders, so count those as one. Then the Storch. Then two US spotter planes. Are those you thought of yourself?
Thank you Border…finally 1/35 aircraft! Hopefully now we will see more 1/35 air crew/ downed pilots as I’m an armour/ figure 1/35 modeller so for me having aircraft and air crew can add more dio ideas. Maybe Border will give us a 1/35 WACO GLIDER!!!
Does anyone know when this will be available? I don’t buy much in advance but in this case I plan too. What a win for modelers that like both aircraft and armor! It seems the only naysayers I have seen are those that only do aircraft. That’s fine but they have plenty to choose from so give us a little piece in the corner with Border… ha.
If you’re modeling 1940/1941, you will use one complete Stuka kit for display. However, seeing the glass as half full, I could take that one Stuka kit, and maybe get 3 to 4 builds if displayed as crashed/wreck scenes, using choice parts from the kit, for those different scenes, when it comes around to the defeat of 1945. 
So, bigger bang for the buck! Thanks! Saving modelers money 365/24/7. That’s the kinda guy I am!

No idea of availability, but the Bf109 took approximately 6 months from announcing to be for sale.
