    Actually, the HTML file is called "...M113...", yet the vehicle is
clearly called "AAV7A1" in the HTML. So that's where the discrepancy
lies.
    The Ferret armoured car is roughly to scale with the trailer and the
two
plastic soldiers standing beside it. The real life Ferret is about the
size
of a tallish Austin/Morris Mini car. This is based on my own experience
with
being very close to a real Ferret in a recent show here in New Zealand.
    So if the soldiers are the same height in both, then all vehicles
should
be roughly compatible.
    By the way, the missile firing Merkava model is odd? As the real one
doesn't! But they are toys after all!
