There are a lot of books and magazines on the history of Japanese scale models if you know the language.

That's cool.

I personally don't find much of a difference between 1/24 and 1/25 scale. I will kit bash 1/25 scale parts on 1/24 scale trucks and vice versa quite often. I make my purchases based on the subject regardless of the slight difference in scale or kit manufacturer.

I agree. However for me, 1/24 scale just requires a little more planning when it comes to kitbashing. I dislike trying to make 1/25 parts work in 1/24 models. It's an extra headache I just don't need. But it won't stop me from buying one that I like.

I had a few 1/24th models, but got rid of them since the rest of my kits and all of my promos were 1/25th. As I couldn't get an '88 Reatta or Regal, or '78 El Camino Black Knight in 1/25th, I realized the scale wasn't that important. I started re-purchasing the ones I had sold. National Products promos from the late 40s were around 1/28th scale, and the '51-'52 Pontiac probably were, too. With the variety of scales available, why not display all of the 1/20th models on one shelf, 1/24th on another, 1/28th on another, and the 1/25th on other shelves. If you go back to the 1920s, some cast iron models are often around 1/20th-1/22nd scale. You can have a more interesting display by grouping like-scale models together.

As said before, models of the same scale vary. I was thinking of building a 32 Ford sedan delivery, with an old Switchers body & Revell chassis & parts. Put side by side, the Revell 32 was huge.

That's because the old, rare AMT '32 Ford Tudor Sedan (and the MPC sedan delivery body which is pretty much a clone of the AMT Tudor with windows blanked off) are way off--too narrow,
