They don't add anything to the previous
post - courtesy of Gisby - but I've shot them at new angles which changes one
of the tracked beasts somewhat; the one on the right, which had looked quite
Challenger-like, actually looks a bit SPG'ish with elements of Abbot or M109?
I'd actually said I didn't think I had any
of the tracked vehicles, but I have two-and-a-half! The other whole-one is the
one I called an Italian/Argentine/Brazilian 'medium ' type (left-middle), with
a modern-looking command 6x6 and Hummer making-up my sandy-sample.
In green I have the same 6x6 and the
turret-armed 8x8 and usually keep them with opposite coloured wheel-sets, but I
swapped them back for the comparison!
The components of one of the tanks, part
count is the same for all of them; hull, turret, belly-pan, two universal wheel-sets
and two identical track units, the same for all the tanks and bi-directional on
any tank. The belly-pans however are model-specific.
I also have a few bits and pieces including
the 'Soviet' tank's hull, so it's the 'NATO' one I'm still looking for, and a wheel-less
(over-scale) Unimog type (which looked a bit 'Pinzgauer' last time),
where I got the "...something like an
Sd.Kfz.222..." idea from - I haven't the faintest idea!
I've also discovered that the entire line was issued in a single
play-set; ships, aircraft, figures (with accessory runners) and these
micro-armour. The whole in a card-carton, full-colour glossy-printed on a paper
laminate, imported by Ackerman it was
(is?) called 'Terrestrial War Games',
I think - but I'm not sure!
