I thought it was fun to see and maybe even some Dio ideas????
This link shows that what we do is nothing new

Have 1/35 world war 2 figures holding 1/1225 scale models... that would be really interesting

So that means were not the only modelers. It has gone back in time!!

Modelling goes back to the beginning of time. I watch lot of archaeology programmes on the TV, and even in the Paleolithic & Neolithic ( stone age) eras they were making clay models.
Now I've seen that clip I know how they kept coming up with more tanks in 1945 !! A few grainy photos of a model in that scale with some trees in the background and the enemies intelligence corps would easily make a mistake.

I can just barely remember the paratrooper model my oldest brother bought me back in the late 50's when he came home on leave from the 82nd, but I can remember it had the shoot deployed with little lines and I think it was around 1/6th, or 1/8 scale, but not sure, but it was pretty good sized, and had pretty good detail, I just wished I had the appreciation back then like I got now for things like that, then I'd probably still have it.

I wonder if any of those models survived and how much they would be worth

Here's a thread we a while ago about an antique model tanks: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/23221&page=1

I also watched the antiques road show, but this one was in England, and they showed a train car with a Howitzer on the back that had a hand crank that worked and everything, it was in total mint condition, the hand crank turned the gun around, and the appraiser said if it was a different subject it would have brought a whole lot more money.
The trouble was with it being a war item, and not to much demand, go figure, but you should of seen the frowns when he give the appraisal, cause they even mentioned that it must of been never used to be in such great shape.
I still think it brought close to a thousand pounds cause of it being in mint condition
