@Lex: the story goes that Mr. Tamiya initially made a motorised Panther tank which could fit an electric motor and a pair of batteries. It sold so well that he decided to make other tank models in the same scale. When the Panther model was measured it happened to be around 1/35th the size of the real tank. From then on this scale took off for military models and other manufacturers followed suit. That's what I meant if he made his first Panther model slightly bigger we would live in peace and harmony. 1:35 is just so odd, it doesn't fit anywhere. 1:36 would be half of 1:72 at least.

But really why cares, "make models not war", or what ever John Lennon said back then
