One thing I have noriced buying both brands is the Osmy stuff is quite smaller then tumbling dice. I thought they were both 1/600, obviously i am mistaken. What is the scale difference between them?

TD tend to be a bit more chunky so to speak. And I would bet that one or the other is either truly 1/580 or 1/625 or so. I do not mix them together personally because they are so different. I love both though.

They are quite different in size and style.

I've measured a few of the TD large Russian fighters (Mig-25s), and they are a bit bigger than 1/600th, but that makes them closer to the diecast bombers I want to use them with, so I'm good with that.

I wouldn't mix them in the same unit, and same types, but otherwise, I think they're fine.

I've got some from both companies now, and plan to keep them separated by theater, once I get them painted up, in most cases, where both offer the same aircraft.

Sounds like I should get some TD F16s to use as JASDF F2s, then.

Noticed it depends on the aircraft. For example, the MiG-29's for both are very close while the MiG-21's from TD are noticeably bulkier. While I personally prefer OO, happily use both, but as above, don't mix the same types together.

My OCD takes an overdrive when it comes to this.
Osmy stuff is usually the right size. Apart from MN-632 (Sisu XA-180 wheeled APC), just to 'bulky' and MN-608 (Strv 103 tank), slightly to wide, most of it is spot on.
Some people love TD. However unless you are 'committed' to it – i.e. have £2,000.00 GBP of the stuff, I would recommend Osmy.

A good example is the MirageIII. The Osmy one is the correct size for 1/600, the TD offering is nearer 1/500. As above, the TD stuff is bulkier – don't get me started on their MirageIV! Having said that their EE Canberra is nice, its a 'bulky' machine anyway, and the Tu-22 and Tu-16 is good.
