The US Army kept the French 75 in service until about the start of WWII, perhaps as late as 1943.
They were updated by removing the shield to make them lighter and adding rubber tires so they could be towed faster by motorized transport.
Apparently if you tow wooden wagon wheels faster than a few miles per hour they begin to bounce and will eventually flip the cannon upside down, sometimes even taking the towing vehicle with it.
Streamlined armored car for the 1938 US Army. I don't believe this is based on a real armored car but it is in the style of many automobiles in the 1930s. I converted a slush cast model into this vehicle. The original metal toy was from that era. It had a large gun on the back which I removed to make a more standard type armored car.
HO scale 3D printed Japanese medium tank painted green overall.
Japanese tanks were well made but just behind the times in tactical thinking and tank design.
Weak guns, thin armor and so they did poorly against the UK, US and USSR.
Three trucks, canopy up. canopy down, and 3 axle version.
WWI and Interwar US Army. Probably based on a Mack truck.
Trucks like the 3 axle truck could carry a light tank, or tow heavy artillery.
Light tanks were only 6 tons and had a top speed of about 6 miles per hour. So long distance travel by truck or train was a must.
Truck and Cargo for the US Army in my 1918 / 1938 forces.
This is my large conversion truck, for carrying tanks!
WWI and Interwar tanks were usually very slow and so they were carried on trailers or on trucks to go long distances. It also saved wear and tear on the tanks since they were maintenance intensive.

Christmas Time is a good time to spot cool little vehicles that may help fill in gaps in your collection.
I got this little truck at Hobby Lobby a couple years ago and found the mother lode of them this year.
Some are still soaking in the paint remover.
