Generally they come with colour-matched
running-gear, but I do have one with contrasting wheels, so a 'Friday
afternoon' job or a 'Monday morning' job!?!
We have looked at them before, so it's difficult to know what to add, there were sets (I've only found generics and they are on the blog), they were bought-in by Speedwell (with another generic gun) for adding to large gift-set boxed 'dioramas' and they don't seem to represent a specific marque, but could be used as Tetrach light, air-portable WWII tanks by old-school gamers with a bit of imagination!

There is a smaller copy which is less
common (the larger one is relatively common as far as these things go), but
it's tracks have aged slightly better! I only have the one so don't know what
colours it came in - if any others?
The common, larger one is marked MADE IN
HONG KONG NO 404, the smaller one just a MADE IN HONG KONG, both in a wide DIN
or Ariel-Rounded type font.
This example has poor moulding with a hole
and splits down the mudguards caused by 'short-shotting' in the production
process. It also has better tracks in a silicon rubber best described as
pinkish-gunmetal!
Side-on ambush! Despite being outnumbered
2:1, green-force should retire from this action with a 6-0 scorecard!
I found this shot after-all; three of the sets they come in with further
cards of the figures which raises the possibility of blue, grey or purple-brown
examples being out there somewhere but as the guns (which we looked at here) have so
far only turned-up in green it's not that likely. And many thanks to James Opie
for some (most! Four?) of the sets in the above image.
