| Subject: | I personally don't see the need |  |

Nimex put out 2 Apache kits in 1/35th. I beleive they were scaled down from the Revell 1/32 kit. DML and Academy also did 1/35th helos:
MD-500 and 530, OH-6 and AH-6, UH-1 Hueys, Kiowa's, AH-1T/W Cobra, Blackhawks and Bell-47's. Trumpeter does the Mi-4,Mi-8/Mi-17 Hip,Mi-24 Hind and CH-47a and D.
While there is some justification for helo's being in 1/35th, most armor and aircraft kits would never be displayed together, such as in a diorama. How many crashed 109's dioramas do we need? :-) Additionally, the number of 'crossover' modelers probably wouldn't justify an entire line of scale compatible armor and ac kits, and to what purpose? Would a 1/35th Stuka be that much more desirable than the 1/32 version that currently available, simply because its in 1/35?
I am one that does both armor and aircraft (and other things as well) and have rarely had the desire or need for them to be in the same scale. Just my dwindling US dollars worth
Cheers
