good year for 1/32 scale modellers

where's my vulcan? (and the small fortune, new house and spray gun to paint it? a 1/48 wimpy does do a lot for me. can't wait to build it!

Ah, but now they can make really tiny detail parts for those large models!

Yeah...TRumpeter's a got a slew of 'em I'm still waitin' on - that Night Attack AV8B, for instance.

...and I've still got my fingers crossed for them to do a Mig-23, Su-22, and P-61 in 1/32.

Who makes the Buffalo?

I agree in part. As an older modeler, I find myself increasingly drawn to large scale models. While I can buy whatever power I need to "see" the parts, my fingers aren't as nimble any more :-)

However, I have also been retired for several years. While I am not poor, I don't have quite as much discrestionary income as when I was still working. Some of those new 1/32 scale kits are priced out of my price range now. Of course, I did all my scratch building in larger scale, and I suspect with model kits rising in price faster than inflation, I will be doing even more scratch building. Basswood is cheap!

I have always been interested in the big models. I guess that was the RC coming out in me. So how was Pit Con. Couldmn't come no money.

Sorry about the multiple posts above. Penncon was nice but smaller this year than I remember it being in previous years. Only spent about $60.

I'd go for a 1/32 Hawker Hart anytime!!!

I leave out most of the tiny parts these days, If I can't find them to put them on the model, I sure as hell won't be able to see them on the model.

I can cut out most of the decals too!

A couple of years ago there was a startup outfit called "Silver Wings" models proposing to do a series of 1/24 scale kits of aircraft of the so called "golden age" period, 1920-1940. Their first announced project was to be a deHavilland DeH-9A. Apparently they found being an entrepreneur was much more complicated than they had anticipated as none of the kits ever showed up. Too bad!
