Now I'm mainly an aircraft modeller, and I prefere 1:32 scale. Only Airfix makes cars (Civilian ones) in that scale, military vehicles seems to be in 1:35 everywhere else, and even military helicopters is beginning to be in 1:35 to match the vehicles.
Strangely enough Airfix does not make any airplane kits in 1:32!
Actually, there WERE a couple of kits done by Pyro (an American company) of civilian cars in 1:32, including a '36 Ford, a 40 Ford coupe and a '53 Chevy Fasback. They weren't great, but couple be made into passable models. The '40 Ford did look nice as
a staff car against a 1:32 American Fighter aircraft of the period, for example.

I picked up a '34 Plymouth Roadster in the Pyro series about 4 years back. I was going to send it on to Ed but I never got around to it. I did send him one of Moebius' Hornets for Christmas one year but those are 1/25th scale. I have no idea how far
he got with it before he left this plane.
