Does any one use 1/700 planes instead of 1/900? I'm curious as to how much bigger they are than the 1/900 I've been using. Some of the planes I want to add to the game are only available in 1/700. The designer told me the plane would be too thin in certain sections to print in 1/900.

I found this site when I did a google search, but it didn't seem to approach the 1/700 and 1/900 size. It was much larger. FlightMiniatures

If anybody has some comparison images, I'd appreciate seeing them.

I just bought some 1990s planes in 1/700. Here are some common plane dimensions from WWII. Wingspan, then wingspan in 1/700, then 1/900.

Wildcat 38’ or .65” or .5”
Avenger 54’ or .93” or .72”
Emily 125’ or 2.14” or 1.67”

That comparison image works for me. I think I might grab a couple of items in the 1/700 that I can't find 1/900 scale. I didn't know HBG existed. Thanks for that too. I think 5 Avengers for $4 is pretty good.
