It's the 1/32 guys who are the splitters. except for the guys that were scared of biplanes until wnw got in the model magazines virtually all 1/32 fans were 1/48 builders and perfectly happy. Granted the ww1 companies had already sort of slowed down releases. I just truly feel 1/48 Is perfect size. Copper state ,gaspaatch and even the last few Eduard kits prove that the detail is possible in 1/48 . To be honest i have lost interest in viewing wingnut builds at the forum. With some exceptions obviously most of the finished models look exactly the same as everyone else's. I personally don't mind in most cases that the offerings 1/48 guys have it makes you have to be a better modeler and artist. It also makes the build logs more interesting to check out. Xan, hidde, coyotemagic, xmald and the rest of the 1/48 crew along with the 1/72 scratchbuilders like old man, ianb, lone modeller etc with the handful of top 1/32 guys like des, bo, bertl etc are what keeps this forum interesting for me personally. There are obviously others that are escaping me as I type but and I apologize for not mentioning all the modelers I admire here. I have just become bored of wnw cookie cutter builds. And to me it seems as though no matter how many new kits and aftermarket goodies they make some guys are on the edge of their see freaking out because they aren't sure which aircraft will be kitted for Christmas and then become upset when they only get a few nice new ww1 kits per year. He'll before Eduard decided to grace us with the se5a and ssw it had been several years since they gave us anything.roden quit several years ago and special hobby hasn't done much in years. So when something like copper state decides to give us a couple kits and then switches to 1/32 it really worries me.
