Two machines
The first machine is the little 2 man French armored carrier UE, about 5000 were built as ammunition carriers. The second may be the little Italian carrier but thats just a guess.
Tamiya makes a nice 1/35 scale model of the UE item # 35284 Quote:

Hi Roberta, thank you for the I.D. They both look like good fun projects. Have any of either survived?
I assume both are evolved from the V.C.L. tankettes.

French UE
Lynn
I have posted a link to the wicked pedia page describing the UE. Apparently there were several versions of the UE and Jerry being an enterprising bunch made use of the 3000 that were captured when France fell. So the second pic may also be a UE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_UE_Chenillette

Thanks Ron and Richard, If I had a couple of spare fortunes, I'd look seriously at that. She's a pretty little machine.
How did he make the track?

All cast from scratch I guess. I had a good look at them and a pleasant chat with the builders. But I feel it's the sort of thing you build for fun or out of interest for yourself. In my opinion, the labour costs outweigh the value of such a replica..........Unless of course Steven Spielberg needs one for a movie with Bruce Willis. Ron
