Quick one from the photo-archive, the Auburn Rubber half-track, before and after cleaning, the lighting also changed slightly, but I think the job still shows itself to have been a good-un!
Not terribly realistic/true-to-life, but better than Marx's efforts, and around 1:48th scale? Manufactured from a synthetic PVC-rubber, rather than the earlier vulcanised tapped-rubber, of which Auburn had done a few military vehicles, but not a half-track, I think Sun Rubber did a very crude vulcanised half-track?

Ah, yes, I remember them well! Together with the jeeps, guns and trucks, theses made up the pride of my back yard armed forces. Loved the rubbery trucks, you could stuff a bunch of ground pounders in the back!
Glad you found it Bob, I think I have the Jeep somewhere, but I need to trach-down the truck and gun!
