Cobi 1:35 King Cobra oversized?

I was looking at the dimesions of Cobi 2550 King Cobra and it seems to be oversized. Based off length it seems to be more 1:32.

The company of heroes m4a1 sherman seems to be more accurate at 1:36, and same with the Sluban M4a3 which I may pick up.

Can anyone confirm this info?

Unknown Brand M10; Does Cobi have their own M10?

Came across this listing on aliexpress, no idea what brand or scale it is. At first I thought this looks ridiculously tiny but then I looked at the dimensions and the width seems to match for 1:35.

Also, does COBI have their own line of M10s/M36s? I can only find very old sets for very expensive.

Cobi vs. Aliexpress Shermans

I've been getting more and more into ww2 brick stuff and I'm currently considering between the cobra king 1:35 as well as a couple of aliexpress tanks. Could you guys check out the links and give feedback? (I'm aware that the aliexpress links are most likely just rebrickable mocs stolen)

Link 1- Sherman crab tank

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809126436883.html?productId=3256809126436883&selectedSkuId=12000048710742933&channel=detailPageDealCombineFloor&combineBizType=platformCoupon&intent_extra_sku_from=from_add_to_shopcart&type=mergeorder&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%2128.44%2111.65%21%21%21192.29%2178.78%21%402101d6ff17793433413928123edd63%2112000048710742933%21fus%21US%216465653704%21X&trackParams=%7B%22businessScenario%22%3A%22choiceV2%22%2C%22activityType%22%3A%22PLATFORM_COUPON%22%7D&spm=a2g0o.detail.fusionpage.0&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa#nav-review

Notes- This seems to be more "legit" as I've seen brands like brick block army dropship them which I imagine should be a good sign for the product maybe? Overall shop ratings for this product don't seem too shabby.

Link 2- Easy eight

Notes- This product seems a LOT more suspect given the shop is below average for every single category on the shop. Also, there are a lot of fishy 5 star reviews all over their shop. On another product where there was also a sherman, I saw the rating tank due to what I perceive as actual reviews saying that the sherman sucks.

I think I will purchase the COBI sherman if it is on sale for memorial day, and perhaps the Crab sherman if it is deemed legit enough.
