Designing scale models isn’t just about recreating what’s shown in plans. It also involves a series of decisions that make assembly easier. Due to the size of a 1:32 scale model, it’s especially important to incorporate solutions that ensure strength and stability. Here’s an example from our latest project, the Hawker Fury. You can also compare the fuselage shapes of the British and Spanish versions. We’re constantly learning, and with every new kit we try to introduce features that make the build easier for modelers.
