I would like to get to know others opinions about few things that I have been wondering on for some time. Also I need to learn english more, so it's another reason for this thread. In other words please be understanding for my language skills.
Ok, back to the point.
Similar scales like for example 1/32 and 1/35 or 1/24 and 1/25. Should have model makers decide on one of these close scales? Make some agreement and start to produce only in 1/35 for example and kill 1/32? Or the other way around? What do you think?
Another thing, I know this is a personal matter, but do you think is it better (or how to say it, maybe more challenging or maybe what is more desirable in modeling) to try to make the model as small as possible and as detailed as possible. For instance a 1/72 scale aircraft model with open engine, open gun bays and so on. Or try to make the model bigger but with a lot more details that just wasn't possible to do in smaller scale. For instance 1/24 super detailed model with just about everything open and if you had a 1/24 scale living pilot he would fly that model. What do you think about this?
Another aspect of the issue small scale vs big scale. What is more desirable on a modeling competition. Smaller scale (e.g. 1/72) model with reasonable ammount of detail or a super detailed bigger scale (e.g. 1/24) model?
And one more question. Why on the site there is a "Modeling Section" but on the forum banner is "Aviation, Discussion, Modelling"? Which is the correct form?
I hope that the above post is understandable...
