Default Scaled pics of a VII next to a IX

I thought these pictures were intresting. They appear to be in scale to one another, (i cant say for sure). Albiet the VIIB looks more like a VIIC and the IXC looks more like an IXB.

No, I think the pictures are quite accurate in that regard. The tower is characteristically VIIB and not VIIC (more curved); and I think the IXC is visibly a bit wider than a IXB would have been.

Nice find

I want those skins in SHIII

Another thing to take into account is that noticable bulge on the side of the VII. Accurate

They are.

The early IXCs had the same general tower configuration as the IXBs.

I highly doubt Ducimus cares one way or the other at this point, seeing that he wrote that three years ago.

Here's the real deal. I think the front left is a IX but God knows what that big brute on the right is!
