Adds yet another scale to fuel the tedious question, "what scale is 28mm?": 1/52 this time!

My, my, what are those crafty Aussies up to now.  :-*

Lovely. I'd like to see how the fit of the different media will be - not easy with dedicated "scale" model kits, but from the Eureka stuff I've seen, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it off in a reasonable fashion.

I never understand why the scale debate sparks so many childish opinions... Half of PMT is ads and the other half is complaining and arguing about scale  ::)
Saw the pics of the Alouette last night, really like how she's looking. Finding it hard to resist this in 28mm... I've been finding the basic RLI sticks hard enough to resist as is.

It's looking good. I really don't think that it being 1/52 is going to make much difference to anyone buying it. I've got a 1/48 kit I was going to use, which is apparently not to scale anyway.

Testors do a 1/48 Cessna Skymaster (http://www.ecrater.co.uk/p/11316025/cessna-o-2a-skymaster-testors-148), so a resin one might be a bit redundant. The over-wing gun pods shouldn't be too taxing surely?

Now if they'd only do some Grey's Scouts mounted and dismounted, and Rhodesian African Rifles!
