Well let's see, 1/350 for ships, 1/35 armour and infantry, and 1/48 and 1/32 for aircraft.

I'm in 1/48 scale ...It usely was quite hard to get some but now these day it's getting more popular so less scratchbuilding to do !

I model in various scales. For wargaming, vehicles and infantry in 1/76. Aircraft in 1/72. Ships from 1/1200 to 1/72.

I perfer 1/72. It is economical and doesn't take up the room that the larger scales do. It also works you harder to detail it.

1/72 also for economics and the space it takes. I am happy that there is a lot of Russian stuff the last 2 decades.

1/48... I usually scratch-build papaermodel AFVs in 1/48 and 1/50 scale, and I have also built some plastic models in 1/48. It offers batter detail than 1/72, but takes less space than 1/35. I also think AFVs are most lovely in this scale.

I paint soldiers/figures in 1/72 and base them to create whole units according to real order of battle.

For fun I build helicopters in 1/48, mainly UH1 type in all possible versions.

1/72nd scale is the only practical scale to show relative size. Also the scale the most subjects are available in.

Sounds very cool. I have often thought of that but never pursued it. Would love to see some photos if you have any.

The quanity of subjects is a very good point for doing 1/72 scale.

"uhu" one of my favorite subjects in my younger days and I believe I have one still in the box on the shelf somewhere.

This is why I like 1/72. This is a Pz.Kpfw I Ausf. B from Italeri. Not the best subject for detailing and at 2 and a half inches long it win't take up much room. The Photos are not the best because I used a cheap camera.

Hi,
I prefer 1/6 scale, but hard to find nowadays.

1/32 and 1/72; 1/32 is 54mm and so figurines are easy to come by and Wingnut Wings have some GREAT planes. 1/72 for space conservation!
