I recently came across some military vehicles I had from many years ago. They are of tanks, trucks, jeeps, etc and are in a very small scale. I believe these were/are made in Austria, although copies have also been made. This jeep is superb, although it needs a windshield frame. That certainly is absolutely beautiful construction !

I did but it seems to have disappeared ! I will see if  it just a glitch with the system and re-upload the snap if I need to.

Since they are from Austria, my guess is they are a brand called ROCO Minitanks and are 1/87 scale.

Yes, I think that is the scale and brand. I can't seem to directly post my photograph of the vehicle but the attachment is the jeep ...... 🙂

I've seen navel rings. Guess that's a navel jeep.

The 1/87 jeep is in there somewhere ! Smile I have some 1/87 scale armored vehicles and trucks also, so I will post some images of these, too. They are plastic vehicles and quite well done.

One of my legs seems to be about six inches longer than it was a few minutes ago.
