Like most
1/48 aircraft
1/35 armor
1/350 ships
Unfortunately bandai decided to put out Star Wars kits in 1/72 so I have to compromise, wish they was 1/48

I'm pretty much unfocused, so far as scale is concerned, but probably 1/48 is the most frequent scale. I have quite a few subjects in 3 or 4 different scales.

BURN THE HERETIC!

But seriously, there are scales I don’t like. And that is box scales. You would think that is a thing of the past but it is not. For instance Revell does this for sci-fi kits. So I have a 1/88 Slave 1 and a 1/80 Jedi fighter! What is the point of that? Just make them 1/72, plastic isn’t that expensive.

No steadfast rule for me. I'm 50/50 on 48th and 72nd. Have a few 144th and 200th in the stash. Cars 24th/ 25th (never understood why the difference)

Currently have 34 48th built and 49 72nd

In my youth I was 72nd only. Then would dabble in 48th, like it, sell all my 72nd, change my mind, sell my 48th. Finally just said whatever and kept both

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

This is the truest answer of all! :shoutout:

I never sold off kits by scale when I dabbled in other scales, they just get shoved further back in the closet. :giggles:

Well, I’m a bit over 200 here… 4 to 1 odds against the Duke… but what are long odds? :hmm: :ballbat:
