I still have some replicas of military vehicles I got when I was (mostly) a young kid. These are some very quick phone camera images of a military truck in World War II and built by several American companies.
These snaps show a Hong Kong pre-built 1/87 H.O. scale truck ..... perhaps a copy or knockoff of the replicas built by ROKO in Austria. I still have several of the original ROKU armored vehicles and also this one.

Cool. I still get a kick out of looking at the Tamiya 1/35 models I made a million years ago. Appropriately coated in years of scale dust.

Tamiya had/has an excellent line of vehicles. I still have a Renwall model I made of the General Walker tank from about the Korean War and after era. Plus, some pre-built armored vehicles from WWII, including a General Grant tank and a German tank destroyer.

I built some military vehicles long ago. I do remember building the Renwall M41 along with a few vehicles from Aurora, Monogram, and Revell.

All very nice ones ! I had many plastic model kits of various airplanes, ships and other vehicles. Some still exist mostly from a bit later when I eventually used them for special effects and rear-projection photography, both film and digital.
