I've always wondered what the story was behind it. I do remember someone explaining to me how the Japanese established 1/35th scale as the default scale for armor, as opposed to 1/32nd, but I've never heard anyone spin the tale of 1/50th. <br /><br />Thanks for jogging my memory of that with this post. <br /><br />WarrenWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204900692700819218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-72316156077352171542014-11-12T09:13:34.471+00:002014-11-12T09:13:34.471+00:00Babs is definitely on my "to-do" list.

Huge rivets, thick raised panel lines including in places where the hinomaru go, and also separate flight controls. Bought it simply for sentimental reasons.....Dan Salamonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867170297794255606noreply@blogger.com
