/r/72scale
A Sub-Reddit all for Scale Modeling in the 72nd Scale!
Welcome to /r/72Scale. This Sub-Reddit is dedicated towards the hobby of scale models and dioramas in the 1/72 scale. Airfix, Tamiya, Revell, Dragon, Hornby, Italeri, ect ect ect, the list goes on. Post anything from planes, to ground vehicles, to trains, boats, space ships, figures, dioramas, anything.... as long as it is 1/72 (or 1/76).
Rules:
You must only post things in 1/72 (or 1/76). All other scales or content that does not relate to the 1/72 (or 1/76) scale will be deleted. If you have a scale that is not 1/72 and not 1/76, but close, those are fine. We tolerate scales such as 1/87 (HO gauge), 20mm, 1/75, and 1/70.
You may post pictures, videos, links to blogs/resources, ect. as long as it somehow relates to 1/72.
Be nice and tolerant to other users and their creations.
All photos must be uploaded via imgur. Any other photo sharing platforms will be deleted (such as; Facebook, Fileshare, Photofrog).
Gifs must be shared either via imgur or Gfycat.
Videos must be shared either by Youtube or Vimeo.
If you are posting multiple photos, please create an imgur album rather than posting each one individually.
If you link other people's work, please source who created it in the comments of your post. If you can't find the original person, at least link where you found it. Plagiarizers will be banned from the sub.
Political discussion is completely unwelcome and will be quickly removed. Let's keep in mind there are subs for political debate - this one is about modeling and we would like to avoid divisive issues that take away from it.
Please Flair your posts using the flairs!

Rule 5 is non-negotiable - don't post anyone else's work without giving credit
There have been a number of incidents over the past year where somebody (often bots, it appears) copies one of the higher scored posts from this sub and creates a new post, claiming it as their own. If I catch anyone doing this, it's going to be a no-questions-asked ban. I tend to be pretty lenient because people make mistakes, but claiming someone else's hours upon hours of work as your own is deliberate and dishonest, there's no way around it. If you spot someone stealing your work and claiming it as their own, please message the mods, or feel free to tag me directly. If you can include a link to your original post, it would save us some time as well.

North American P-51D RNZAF
Just finished my Italeri 1/72 P-51D Mustang (NZ2429, RNZAF) build! Here’s a 360° view of the iconic fighter in its New Zealand markings. Really happy with how the details turned out, especially at this scale. Thoughts and tips for future builds appreciated!
