Because to get the advertised/titled Battling Micro Tanks, you need to get at least two sets, although there are three tanks to find! I found this in 2021, although it's copyrighted 2000, to a Teamforce Co. of the UK, and the contents will be all-Chinese.
A Sherman and Tiger still to be found, all sharing the same running-gear, but the Sherman having outer flats to represent the distinctive suspension system of the M4, but with only two per side it looks like a Stuart/Honey with ideas above its station!
The Mk. V Panther of this set. It's a tad deformed too, but holds the look of the real one reasonably well, just a little too wide for its length. They could have hidden the power button a little better, by placing it in the cupola?
The figures, around 28mm, are
Airfix copies and resemble the ones being issued with
Majorette military sets around the same time, with heavy bases, but new poses I think, however they could both be from the same subcontractor? Similar figures were issued by
Skylark a few years ago, but they were very poor quality copies-of-copies.
The trees are also a bit Airfix'y - from the Zoo play set?
The batteries have all gone 'acid burst' and should probably be discarded, but they are pretty safe in their tray and I think I left them for the time being? Quite unusual to find 'Batteries Included'!
The radio-control unit is disguised as a grenade, which brings memories of
Galoob's line of
Secret Army Supplies!
