The 72 scale page

I feel that the smaller scales are loosing ground in favour to the 1/35 scale armour and 1/48
scale planes. This could be the future for the 1/700 scale shipmodelling as well, but for the
moment I don't see any immediate cause to worry. But the 1/350 scale is rapidly growing....

Since my main interest is armour and planes in 1/72 (1/76 armour to) I´ve choosen the name
for this page according to this, but small ships may also be present in the future.
