Ju 87 Test Shots | AeroScale

It was an honest question, as I hadn’t heard of armor modelers wanting aircraft in 1/35th. So if there is a viable market for it, great!

Of course, the Ju 87 has a definite connection to the early war Blitzkrieg in its integral role as flying artillery for the ground forces, and with the “G” as a Soviet tank buster later on. But I believe the first (or one of the first) 1/35th scale acft was a Bf 109G-6/R6, a bomber interceptor, which doesn’t seem to have any connection at all with the ground war represented by armor. Hence my original question.

My muse about 1/40th scale was only to say that since you armor folks are now getting aircraft in 1/35th scale, which you have to admit is pretty remarkable, maybe someday my “dream” scale of 1/40th (half-way between 1/48th and 1/32nd) would be realized.

As to the question of interest in military models, I LOVE armor – I started building armor in the late '60s with the old Monogram kits. I currently have 32 military models in my stash (AFV Club, Dragon, Italeri, & Tamiya) awaiting their turn.
