Hello. I've been doing a lot of 3D design recently and I'd like to be able to make a set of 1/35 EoTech 551s, 553s and XPS' as none are available in 1/35 as of yet. Problem is, I don't have any of these optics in front of me to design and get measurements off of. I'm wondering if anyone who has these optics could work with me to provide basic detail measurements so I could design a set of these quickly. Thank you.

Sorry, I sent all mine back to EoTech. WIth the optional recall, I'm not sure how many members kept theirs. Be patient, someone will chime in.

I didn't realize there was a recall on those models. Whats the reason?

Known parallax error and thermal shift.

Ah. Well that is a pretty good reason. Nuts.

From the EoTech website

Looks like for the 553:

Length/Width/Height:
4.9” x 2.2” x 2.8” (124 x 55.8 x 71 mm)

Not sure about the 551 though. Not too many floating around as they used the N battery. The 511 also has the same dimensions but I can't seem to find specs on that either.

Thanks. It's a good start, the general dimensions. Now I just need the specific dimensions. Time to keep waiting I suppose.
