Smaller scales anyone?

Post by Rocketman »

When I started this hobby way back when 1/16 was as big as it went and everyone aspired to that. Al ot of us were very proud of our 1/25 scale r/c beasties, I think at one time I had 3 1/25 T-34's, \Panthers jagd, Cheiftains, you name I t I had it. Ive just managed tos ecure my all time Holy grail in this odd scale which is the 1/24 bandai King Tiger with complete interior. Just wondered if anyone else was into these scales as Im thinking of running that side too into the collection again, along with the 1/6, 1/16, 1/18 and all the other ones!

Wifes gonna kill me..... :-X

I still have 2x Panther A 1 is more for spares 1x Panther G this one I got from Rocket a few years back and still haven't touched it 1x Tamiya Jagdpanther with the DM ultra rare only the Jagdpanther is a runner the others have been reduced to static models

Rocket
the 1/25 scales are what started me into the hobby with the 1/25 jagdpanther and panther from academy which is basically the same molds as tamiya used in the day

also dipped into 1/35 R/c with an R/C saladin (tamiyas)
also looked into the VS range and am thinking of using there electronics in the Panther and Jagdpanther

so yes I am with you on this one and yes your wife will probably kill you unless you tell her it's a transportation device for her hand bag you never know :o :o :o :o

Nothing smaller than 1/16

All 1/24 - 1/25 went to a guy in the USA as one job lot, except for the Bandai Kitty.
