Hi Gang,
i am under the impression that teh Rosomak and the Patria AMV have a diffrent hull lenght. For quite while, I am toxing with the idea of building a PatGb 360 from Rosomak kit. Do anyone has some drawings of the PatGB 360 or the Finnish AMV APC?

The AMV comes in different hull lengths: there is now a stretched version for larger turrets and the 6x6 is shorter. It is my understanding that the "normal" baseline 8x8 hulls are structurally the same (allowing for any manufacture differences).
This is based on my time on the UK FRES project 10-12 years ago when both versions were under initial consideration for the Utility Vehicle APC. The main difference between the 2 was the complexity of the on-board systems, simpler on the Rosomak. The 2 companies agreed to split the export sales market between them according to the the complexity of customers' requirements and not to compete with each other.
