Does anybody know where I can find chain link fence in either 1/35 or 1/32 scale?

There are some sizes available in the Model RR shops and catalogs. Might only be 1/48 or 1/87. Also try K&S brass, they do some perforated sheets that might work.

Michael's Craft Stores sell a metal mesh in different sizes in various quantities on rolls. The metal is flexible and makes perfect chain link fences.

and it breaks down size to mm in article on their product.
spatter guards,you know the fine mesh used for putting over frying pans to stop the spitting .This mesh is perfect for a chain link fence just cut it to size with scissors,making sure the links are running at 45 degrees to the vertical ,If youre only doing a small section of fence there should be plenty,and whats left is useful for allsorts such as engine grilles etc. these are cheap at places like dollar stores.
