Hi,

I prefer 1/48. So I must count as a convert.

It has long been my view that 1/35 is just a touch too big visually. Also, in practical terms it takes up too much room. 1/72 is too small, especially for figures. The net result is that I always hoped 1/48 would come along one day. i.e. that the big manufactures would go for it.

I agree that its most obvious advantage is with dioramas.

I will always want some 1/35 models, but from now on the majority are likely to be 1/48.

All the best,
Kip.
