A pair of Roco Mini-Tanks M-55 Self Propelled Artillery vehicles. They are models of the USA self Propelled artillery piece made in the 1950 made in HO Scale aka 1/87th scale. These models were made in Austria.
One of the largest armored vehicles ever made. The armor was only an inch thick which is on the light side for armored vehicles. The armor was made to protect against shell fragments and small arms fire. As these were made for targets 10 miles away as opposed to fighting tanks they did not need thicker armor. I have a photo of the real thing in the last photo from the American Military Museum in South El Monte. It is a low budget private museum that specializes in US armored vehicles and artillery. No WWII German Tiger Tanks but they have a lot of items you would otherwise only see in books.
Awesome!!! You have the coolest collection of military models.
