Are there really "oversize" GHQ vehicles?  I thought they always
maintain size consistency between their own vehicles?

Probably because the Scotia models are 1/300th scale, whereas GHQ are
1/285th. It's a fairly small scale difference, but enough to be visible.
Allow a bit of 'scale creep' as well (I have some GHQ models which are
definitely larger than their stated scale) and the difference will be
significant.
