i have seen aircraft models in 1:32 and 1:33, i feel the difference of one is not really noticeable but i just want to know why would someone create a model in 1:33 when 1:32 is the more common scale...(or is it vice versa?)
32 or 33?

One scale is kinda the norm in Europe (32) and the other is more the norm in America (33) not sure why, I suppose we just like to mess with stuff.....

That's interesting. I would have expected 1:32 to be the (old) British and American scale, being 3/16 inch to the foot. In the metric world 1:33 (or in fact probably 1:33.333...) would make more sense. I agree with MBig, though - in the face of all the other discrepancies the difference is unlikely to matter much for us lesser mortals.

Polish airplane models are usually in 1:33, too.
Imperial vs. metric is the right trace to answer. Pretty much the same as with 1:48 vs. 1:50.
