Cool project. I did Rommel'so half track 'Greif' back when I was 11, and have often thought of doing another. This might inspire me. |

exactly! although back then i can remember Revell doing 1/32 aircraft (have memories of doing a tropical Hurricane) perhaps they hoped that scale would take off? |

I suppose it has something to do with the fact that 1/32 is a "car" scale. There are quite a few car model kits in 1/32. |
