For anyone who wants to get ahold of one of these in time for Christmas, the B5N2s are somehow already on sale at Aliexpress, alongside the Akagi Island combo:

1/32 or 1/35, makes no difference to me. If they are including a carrier deck and tower, I’m buying it.

Wow that is amazing! I guess I'll have to put my money where my mouth is! Just when I swore the stash can't get any bigger....

Looks like you got your wish, Squadron is now taking pre-orders for the new figure set, along with the other kits. Kudos to Border for going out on a limb with this groundbreaking release, I hope they are rewarded with good sales.

Why 1:35 scale? That makes no sense.

Today you have armor, trucks, cars, trains, boats, figures, etc. all in 1/35 scale.
All except aircrafts. So why not? I like idea that all of my collection is in same scale. I am ex 1/32 aircraft modeler who wanted to have vehicles in same scale. So, 10 years ago I changed scale to 1/35. End waited. Upcoming aircraft models in 1/35 scale are, at least for me, a dream come true.

When I first saw the ICM AH-1G, I was jazzed BIG TIME. I next looked for the scale; 1/32. The things that make us say, "Hhhhmmm". Only a short time later, (relatively speaking), I learnt of the upcoming Skycrane by TAKOM; 1/35 scale. Now this really got my rotor turning!
MICRO-MIR has introduced some oddball helos; in 1/32 scale. Again. . . Hhhhmmm.
I am grateful for one thing, and that is the quality of today's plastic kits is better than ever before. This is a great time to be a scale plastic modeler.
So, here's an attempt at humor. I gave all of this 1/32 and 1/35 business some thought, and I asked my self, "so, what do you want, a rubber biscuit?"
Must we choose?
yes.
You guys make this hobby fun.
With respect, Philip Bunch
