Size/Scale Comparisons

Bit of an odd request here but does anyone here build many different scales of models?
Perhaps it'd be easier like this:

Does anyone have built models of different scales that they could take a side-by-side photo of?
More specifically, I'd like to see how much smaller a 1/32 model is compared to a 1/24 scale one.

For those interested, Airfix have got two little gems in their 1/32 range coming later this year.
Aston DBR9
Jaguar XKRGT

Re: Size/Scale Comparisons

I have an unbuilt Airfix 1/32 DB5(or6) that I can put next to an unbuilt 1/24 DB5 if you would like?

EDIT: I just hope the quality of their new 1/32 kits is better than the quality of the older one I have!

I have a Airfix Ford P68 to put aside a MFH one

Ah... also a 1/32 Hase Stuka to put aside a 1/24 Airfix Stuka, just to do the opposite

Re: Size/Scale Comparisons

if anything, I'd love to see the MFH P68 kit anyway.

Re: Size/Scale Comparisons

Sorry - no MFH kits from me (but I do have the MFH AM Zagatto )

Some quick and dirty snapshots of the crappy Airfix 1/32 DB5 vs. Doyusha 1/25 DB5 (I'll leave you to figure which is which )
