Hi Guys
I am wanting to build a diorama but i need some help, I wish to add an aircraft to the scene, but I want to know what scale of aircraft will i need to go with the 1:35th scale models.
I really haven`t got a clue as I have never added an aircraft to any of my models, so if there is anyone out there that can be of help in suggesting which scale would look right with my 1:35 th scale models it would be gratefully received.

1/35 or 1/32 would be your best bet.
tristar and bronco? make 1/35 aircraft.
most manufacturers make 32nd. be prepared for BIG though...

Tamiya has a large selection of 1/32nd scale aircrafts, most of them are modern though.
Here is the catalogue: http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/list/32plane/kit60301.htm
Check this link out to, you can find most of the 1/35th scale aircrafts that are out there:

Thanks for the advice guys, I think I have made my mind up now, its looking like 1/32nd scale.
I would`nt mind having a scene with a downed German fighter with some anxious onlookers, but I will probably change my mind as quick as made it up.
Oh the joys of modelling.......
