But it was on sale! And I got another 9.00 taken off….it was my birthday present .

Does your wife have a sister?

Just one left, much older and grumpy.

It’d be nice to have one in 1/48. It’s close enough in size to a CH-47 or CH-53E, which already exist in that scale. But the grousing over 1/32 vs 1/35 makes no sense. The 1/35 kit can be paired with the wide variety of appropriate era 1/35 ground vehicles available for dioramas. In 1/32 there is very little out there to do such things.

If I ever have that much disposable hobby money I'll buy it but for now I'll get the 1/72.

Am I crazy or is 1/35 turning into the "new" scale for chopper models because they can be matched with the wide variety of ground subjects already in that scale?

Not to mention figures as well. A much wider selection of accessories to pair with a chopper.

Well, if you look at as 4-5 separate kits in one box….and free shipping from the Ukraine. There is a 1/72 coming next year.

Yes, you are crazy. You build models.
