I've always thought they're roughly the same size, but this pic suggests otherwise. A trick?

It does look smaller, don't it? In looking up dimensions, they are supposedly similar, with the A2 being heavier with its new armor and upgrades. So either the picture is a off-scale photoshop or the External dimensions are that much reduced. |

must be a trick, the added on armour would make the later model bigger then the original. |

I personally think this is a photoshop. Damon. |

Yes, the pics are off scale … They didn't make a new vehicle for the A2. The just added and upgraded the existing vehicles … AFAIK. |

Definitely photoshopped. Unless these are Iran's new indigenous super-IFV's… |

Look like plastic models to me, so variation could be due to different manf.
Plus, "Happy" Christmas seems a bit European to me, rather than an American way of saying it… |

I think you're right. One of the models is out of scale. I'd wager it's the M2 based on the relative crew size to the vehicle. |

Look like plastic models to me, so variation could be due to different manf. Could be. But if we stick to 1/35 scale, the 2 manufacturers of M2s & M2A2s were Tamiya & Academy. The Academy kits were virtual copies of the Tamiya kits. I've built both & there is no practical difference between the two. Damon. |
