What is the 1:35 Scale in Modeling?
The 1:35 scale is one of the most popular standards in model making, especially for military subjects. This means that each part of the model is 35 times smaller than its real-life counterpart. For example, a figure of a 175 cm (approx. 5'9") tall person will be about 5 cm (approx. 2 inches) high in this scale. The popularity of the 1:35 scale is largely thanks to the Tamiya company, which introduced it in the 1960s for its military vehicle models. This allows modelers worldwide to easily combine models of vehicles, figures, and accessories from different manufacturers to create cohesive and realistic scenes.
Figures for Dioramas and Vehicle Models
In this category, you will find a wide selection of plastic figures to assemble and paint yourself. We offer sets featuring soldiers from various historical periods, from World War I and II to modern armed conflicts. Figures are available in various poses – fighting, marching, operating equipment, or resting. In addition to military personnel, our offer also includes civilian figures, which allow for the creation of more diverse dioramas. Each set typically includes several figures and equipment, such as weapons, helmets, or backpacks.
1:35 scale figures are the perfect complement to vehicle models – such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, or cars – in the same scale. They breathe life into any diorama, adding realism and telling a specific story. They are an excellent choice for both beginner modelers looking to try their hand at figure painting and for advanced creators seeking high-quality details for their projects.
