Uuugggg.... so they have a Lancaster at 1:32, but then go and release this in 1:35. Yes I know the difference is minuscule and 99% of people won't notice, but still. The bomber series has been established at 1:32, just stick to it.

That is discussed recently a lot, but Border Model has not started it. The SM database has nearly 300 full kits in group "Aircraft" in 1:35 so this is nothing new. That scale is more used for dioramas so you can find more figures, cars and accessories compared to 1:32.

Of that 290 1:35 scale aircraft kits listed here, 260 of them are the same few helicopter kits just reboxed many times over the years. The only non-rotorwing kits are for obscure drones in resin kits (which would make sense for a diorama) or kits from the 1960s that haven't sold well enough to reissue. The remainder are small civilian craft like Cessna's, again kits from the 60s that didn't warrant reissue.
If you're going to manufacture a more mainstream aircraft subject, like the He111, stick to one of the mainstream scales - 1:72, 1:48, 1:32, or 1:24

Yes, you are right. So don't buy it.
On the other hand they are free to release what they want. And if there are enough 1:35 dudes who buy this kit (I don't know the number), they will have done everything right from a business point of view. If not, it's there own fail and will prevent such future releases.

Sorry mate, but I'm with bughunter on this one: If you don't like it, don't buy it.
Btw, calling (Airfixes ...) 1:24 aircraft kits mainstream, is a bit of a stretch. Airfix is, as far as I know, the only big company who still releases newly tooled kits this scale. The fact that you have all of Airfix's 1:24 aircraft kits in your stash, doesn't make it mainstream.... just saying 😉

Hey buddy, you not being able to afford the large scales doesn't make them not mainstream. Airfix will sell an order of magnitude more 1:24 Spits than Border will sell of this kit. Borders biggest claim to fame is screwing up the Lancaster, so I'm not surprised they'd screw up their Heinkel. just saying 😉

Aww, I'm sorry! Did I hit a nerve there? After double checking my own stash, I don't think money is my (....or the general) issue here.
At the end of the day it boils down to, "do you want the product a company is putting on the market or not". If the answer is yes, go ahead and have fun with it. If not, just move on and don't throw a tantrum because other people like different things than you do.

OMG, people! If anyone wants to do dioramas with ARMOUR and planes, Border releasing 1:35 He111's, Stuka's, BF-109's is a dream come true!!

Its time to get rid of the odd ball 1/32 and go with 1/35 for aircraft. If I'm not mistaken Tamiya is the one that screwed up the scales many many years ago. I will be sure to add one to my stash.

I love it. There are plenty of softskins that could be placed in an airfield diorama. There are more 1/35 vehicles and accessories available than 1/32 scale. I have the Border Stuka and Tristar Fieseler Storch. I have the 1/35 Bronco Rosie the Rocketeer kit also. Way to go Border.

Gauge 1 railway stuff gives you trains, non military vehicles, and buildings in 1:32 but I don't see people take advantage of this.

I have this very kit and am planning to build it soon! How did you get such fine painting on the instrument panel? It looks amazing!
11 March, 13:22
![](/profiles/img/121455-582-s.jpg)
Thanks Rando. I dry-brushed dark grey and white on the instrument faces and then picked out some buttons and placards with a very fine brush. Dry-brushing highlighted some areas that I didn't want highlighted so I came back with some flat black and repainted the "rim" around the flight instruments.
Each of the dials will get a drop of clear later. Check out my album on the Revell P-51D for another panel if you're interested.

Very nice! I think you have the right idea of not attaching the seat yet since it's so flimsy…maybe I'll carefully remove mine. How did fitting that radio part work out for you? Did it go in like we discussed?

![](/profiles/img/121455-582-s.jpg)
Thanks. Yeah it'll go in later along with the rollover bar. Also gives me time to scratch seatbelts.
The rear radio rack went perfectly above and behind the main rack. It fits under the horizontal "stringer" aft of the main radio deck.

Your struggle seems to be coming along in excellent fashion!!!! Keep it up! 👍

Thanks for the encouragement. I have four more of these Allison birds in the stash and this is the variant I like the least….so on the upside, I'm learning a lot for the others! 😂

Thanks! Looking forward to getting some paint down. Though I think Mr. Surfacer deserves more credit for the primer finish than Mr. KyMustang!
