I have just started a 1/700 scale aircraft what if for a project i am working on
sorry no photos tet as it made of clear plastic and does not photo well yet!

what is the smallest scale you have built?
Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest.
Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for!!!

B777LR

That would be scratchbuilding an aircraft for the 1/1200 Revell Bismarck. Sorry, even the Bismarck model is too small to photograph. Did it to try out some new tools/magnifying glasses for modeling.it was a bit out of scale >:(

The smallest scale that can be used is 1/10 to the Nth power.
This is used to model dioramas of Angels dancing on the head of a pin!

I made some conversions/whifs from 1/100 and 1/144-scale aircraft, and 1/2000 ships. **WHEN**, not if, I make my 1/700 angled-deck WWII Bon Homme Richard, it will have some Douglas Decimator aircraft on it
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

1/200 is the smallest I've got (pair of DML B-2s), my fingers & steady hands cant work with anything smaller.

I've made in 1:144th scale a King-Raptor YF-23, AST-21 Tomcat, and Israeli F-16XL

I've got a 1:144th Mustang but it's just barely a What If...

I built a sci-fi drone that would work out to be about 1:1000 but it is about 8 inches long so not really a challenge, miniature-wise.

smallest to date, 1/72.  I have a Tu-22 in 1/144 I'm going to do some whif markings on.  Eventually, I might do some whiffed 1/700 - I have plans to modify some choppers for work.

Well, I did some stuff for #1 son's aircraft carrier, but don't recall the scale. Probably this one would be the smallest scale whiffer, 1/300th:

I love that B-70!

The smallest ones I've made are 1/350 or 1/400 scratchbuilds. Like my Bell D2064

BlackOps

This one is 1/350



Not sure what scale my Sea GeeBee is but it's small :)



My batch of space fighters that are still in progress.

I did some GHQ Miniatures 1/700 armour for a friend once. No modifications, just paint. In that scale, it's enough. Also did some 1/1200 GHQ ships for a game of Harpoon. I think I still have the British Sovremmeny I did.

'Course the absolute smallest scale I have ever worked with are the 1/15000 Zentraedi battleships. That's small!

Got a 1/288th An-72 which is going to be a miniature of the 1/72nd scale gunship I have planned. None of this actually exists yet though, and you shouldn't hold your breath.....
