scale help!
Hello everyone,
I'm building a 1/96 scale aircraft carrier and I wanted to find out what scale aircraft would look good with it 1/72 or 1/48 since 1/96 are hard to find.
Thanks for your help
George

RE: scale help!
Your best bet woudl be with 1/100 scale. Look for Corgi or J Wings on Ebay.
Scale shoudl be consistent, a 1/48 or 1/72 plane in a 1/96 scale bot would look like a 747 parked on an aircraft carrier.
When I built My boat (1/144) I picked that scale due to its relative ease of use, A 1/144 Aircraft Carrier is about the same size as a 1/96 destroyer. Also the planes were readily available in 1/144.
You may want to consider scaling up to 1/72 on your boat (16' vs 11')

What time period?
John Haynes has resin castings of WW2 naval planes in 1:96.
