Why, or why would Airfix make these in 1:32? Obviously, they got the license to release the kits, why choose such an odd (slotcar) scale?

These kits are probably based on the Scalextric slot cars. I believe Hornby's owns both companies.

And they also own Humbrol

You gave me quite a scare... I hoped for a 1/24 scale release...

OOOhhhhhh, another Gulf-warroir..................

The scale meets my former times favorite military modelling time, classically 1/35 scale.

Would be quite interesting what kind of quality? Anyone?

Right cars, wrong scale...

:runaround: Herregud!
why in hell 1/32 scale? with modern airfix quality and a decent decal sheet these 2 british beauties will be a real besteller.
