Can this be moved to the Aeroscale Rotary Wing Forum since it is a helicopter? No idea why it is in the Dioramas Forum.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was the same version. Why is it in Dioramas then? There is no need to double-tap the subject.

I suppose:
1) If you look at the topic titles above, "Aircraft" is the first category;
2) Unlike most aircraft models, this one is 1/35, not 1/32, making it a military (as in armor, vehicles, etc.) model, and would dio well with a Kubelwagen, Kettenkrad, etc. Just needs some 1/35 Luftwaffe figures.

Using that same logic, I guess we should just list all helicopter subjects in the Diorama forum since they go well with and usually support ground troops. We should list all armor here as well since they look better with a few figures and diorama items around them too. Lets just get rid of all other forums and only use the Diorama Forum since everything looks better in a diorama as opposed to by itself.

By the way, the topics section is for weeding out what you see in the Diorama Forum. Aircraft refers to Aircraft dioramas, which this is not. Again, why do we have different forums if we don't use them properly?

It makes sense that they would post a 1/35 aircraft into the dio forum.

There are a few aircraft that would lend themselves well to this, mostly spotting and light utility, Piper, Lysander, Storch

My opinion, as already exposed when you complained the same way on the other Kolibri news, is that being 1/35 it makes sense to add it to armorama news.

Similar items have been posted before:
Academy RQ-7B UAV in Figures

Bronco Horsa Glider in General

Italeri PT-109 Motor Torpedo Boat in Armor

Hobby Fan Aircat Airboat in Armor as well

And you have never complained, so I wonder if you have a problem with the helicopters put in the Diorama section, or it's simply something against me.

If the first, I have no problem moving it to General, Figures or armor.

If the second, I can not remember any time I may have offended you, in fact I have always found your messages very informative and documented.

Just to please some people you'll have to add two more forums: one for 1/35 scale wingy-things; and one for 1/35 scale floaty-boats!

Those are the technical nomenclature for those items so we should use them.

Nothing against you at all. I just think helicopters should be in the Rotary Wing Forum, regardless of scale, as that is what it is for. As to the other subjects, I don't really care about them, but they would be better in their respective forums as well.

I am glad this was posted in this forum. I rarely go to other sites on Kitmaker since my interests lie mainly with 1/35 subjects. I think the usefulness of this kit in relation to 1/35 dioramas can not be overstated. If it hadn't been posted here I may not have seen it. Let's just all take a deep breath. It's a hobby site. Have fun.

And here's little ol' me thinking "Wow! what an interesting addition to the modelling world..." not realizing what a huge cow pie that I had apparently just stepped into. Seriously, couldn't we find something better with our time than raging about categories? Sure, it would fit in great in a dio and it would be fine standing on its own. Who cares? Build the damn thing and move on.

The Flettner is currently available, and at a decent price!
