Thanks!
Why is this in Dioramas? It has already been reported in the Aeroscale Rotary Wing forum, where it should be.
So are we going to post every 1/35 helicopter release in the Dioramas section now?
That is what the Aeroscale Rotary Wing Forum is for.
Well I wouldn't go to the Aeroscale forums because I don't have an interest in aviation modelling, but because of there use and connections with ground forces helicopters do have an interest for me, and I can see the obvious connections.
Given that 1/35th scale is predominately populated with armoured vehicles, tanks etc then anything in 1/35 could be useful to those modellers of that particular scale so I don't see the problem in including details of any 1/35 scale releases in Armorama.
It's not like it'll be flooded with aircraft etc and I'm sure we can leave it up to the judgement of the staff members to decide what would be of interest and possible use to those modelling armour in 1/35 scale when making release announcements.
The way I see things, it's more about scale then category. If we follow this separation philosophy, shouldn't new soft skins be announced in Auto modeler part of the forum?! It is 1/35 subject and as such I think it should be announced here. Well done Miniart.

Well by that should all 1/48 armour and soft skins be in Aeroscale as 1/48 is mainly an aircraft scale and what about 1/72?
What of the Miniart Focke Wulf Triebflügel that's clearly an aircraft but is 1/35 so by your reasoning it's armour.

Focke Wulf Triebflügel is clearly not an aircraft. Actually, it never existed. And I don't understand how did you come to conclusion that "by my reasoning" it is an armour when we are talking about dioramas?
I am just saying that somebody who is making 1/35 vehicles does not have to be an "only armour" fan and that such a person might be interested in this kind of announcement, especially in "Dioramas" part of this site. I mean, if somebody make diorama with 1/35 Fieseler Storch, Pz.Kpfw.III and some figures where is more logical place to post it? Aeroscale or Armorama?
And, if Managing Editor have posted this announcement here, I think that he probably know what he is doing.

Because the Dioramas section is in Armorama hence armour.
The Focke Wulf Triebflügel is Luft'46 so an aircraft whether it existed or not just like you have paper panzers. The point is it's in 1/35 so from what you said earlier it should be included in Armorama.
Sorry in this case I think the Managing editor is wrong, that's what the latest posts button is for so you can see what's happening across the whole network from just one page.

...depending on setup one make on view filter.
My friend, you are taking things literally here and you are not respecting that. If flying things should strictly be announced on Aeroscale, then trucks and stuff cars should be on Automodeler forum and trains and railroad wagons should be on Railroadmodeling forum. Not to mention figures... But I don't see anybody complaining about trucks, figures or railroad cars being posted on Armorama.
By Tamiyas design 1/35 became commonly excepted as "Armoured" scale. By that philosophy, atleast for me, anything in that scale is belonging here, on Armorama. I have right to that opinion as much as you have right to think that Triebflügel is an aircraft. So, to answer your question, considering scale Triebflügel should be on Armorama but, as it never existed, it shouldn't be anywhere.
Greetings, Bogi
Because, as I tried to explain, 1/35 is an armoured scale while 1/72 and 1/48 are aircraft default scales. Now you answer my
question - why are aircrafts treated differently than trucks, cars or railroad items? All of them have dedicated parts of Kitmaker network.
Ok so why then are 1/72 and 1/48 vehicles not in Aeroscale by your logic if they are aircraft scales? They are clearly tanks or military soft skin so belong in Armorama. This subject is an aircraft so belongs in Aeroscale.
Answer to your question, because they have always been seen as add ons to ground based military subjects and in most cases are models of equipment operated by military ground units. The military does use soft skin you know, it’s not all about armour. While this subject is clearly an aircraft operated by an airforce not the army.
