I believe most of the ones you listed are scale size. The 763, 773, 783, 784, 785 are the same size but lack detail of the others. Semi scale is a term used to described smaller than scale items as well as scale size but lacking detail.

Let's cut this notion that semi-scale describes scale-proportioned models with fewer details. When manufacturers use the term, it is only to describe undersized models.

Some hobbyists wrongly adapted the term to bring details into the picture. Which is ridiculous, because, tell me, when is the threshold crossed for the amount of detail? It only causes confusion.

If  the term "scale" only refers to size, then how do we differentiate between fully detailed models such as the 18005 and same size models lacking the full details such as the 18002?
