How far off in scale is 1/32 compared to 1/35?

Would i be able to use some 1/32 model cars kits along sid my 1/35 military vehicles and had it seem in scale or close to it?

Rocky,

There are several folks here that have included 1/32nd scale "automotive" kits in their 1/35th scale dioramas. And, it's quite convincing.......the scales are close enough that it's hard to see a difference.

Mathmatically,there is about 9% differance between the scales. Close enough for government work I'd say. As others have said,keep gear and weapons in one scale. People come in differant sizes,M1 Garand rifles do not.
Cheers!

Good to hear about the scale.

So over all a 1/32 vehicle will work but i can't use any of my 1/35 gear IE: stowage, weapons - .50 cal, M249's and so on because it will be out of scale or as long as i don't mix 1/32 and 1/35 scale weapons and stowage it's ok?
