Was just going through my pile of US minis and noticed something a bit disturbing, half of my M113's are nearly twice as large as the other half (cannot be used together). Looked at several other vehicles and it appears there are a number of "old" and "new" sculpts. Has anyone else noticed differences in their collections? Has there been a list anywhere noting what vehicles have changed? Before doing any more orders need to know what I will be getting compatibility wise. |

Have you contacted the manufacturer to ask about the difference? Did you buy all of them from O. O. directly or are some second hand? Could you post a side by side picture please? |

Yes, I have the exact same issue. It also impacts the M113 family of vehicles such as the M901. I bought all of my models from pico armor. |

Purchased all of mine from Pico Armor as well. Have not contacted them as yet, don't really know what they can do. As far as vehicles are concerned, what I have seen affected is the same as Onomarchos above (the entire M113 family of vehicles). Also suspect the BTR-60, Bradley, MLRS, M109, M110 and FAASV as well, though these just look small and may not have been changed as the M113. Will try and get a pic up today. |

Here's a pic of the M113's. As you can see it's not just a minor difference, and it unfortunately impacts all the M113 based vehicles such as the M577, M901, etc.

Note I believe these are just "first generation" sculpts. Anything ordered from now on would likely not be an issue. Suspect it just affects those of us who got into 1/600 Oddzial early on and now need to add to forces. That's where my issue is, I have a lot of the older stuff and need to add but have to know if I what I will be ordering will match what I already have as the difference is so striking. Replacing all the old sculpts will be a bit pricey, but that's likely the route I will be going. |

I had the issue with mine as well. I just make sure to confine them to the same units and it works out well enough. |

Smaller M113s are old models – they were among my first sculpts in this scale. They were replaced with new bigger models a few years ago. |

For last ten years or so all Oddzial Osmy models seem very consistent in scale… |

Say Marcin, were the ACAVs replaced too? |

FWIW I only purchased the smaller M113's a few years ago. Not a huge issue, they are cheap enough where I'll just replace the M113 based vehicles. |

All M113 based vehicles were replaced – including West German versions. |
