I have an Armored Car looking thing that I've had for years (decades really) but I honestly have no idea what it's supposed to be. Since I'm sure it came from a "bucket o' soldiers" I realize that it may not be anything real.
Still, if someone can tell me either what it is, what it's supposed to be, or even what it looks close to I would be obliged.
picture Next, my Brother has this figure of a German trooper but we can't identify the weapon he has. Again, it may just be an invention of the toy, but maybe not. It has no stock, a pistol type grip in the rear and a forward grip. It also has a clip loaded in from the left side. The best I can guess is it's a Sten Mk. V with the stock removed, but i don't know. Any guesses?
picture And the front showing the clip, sort of. Bad photo.
picture Again, thanks for the help. If anyone would know, I know it's someone here. |

I think the Germans smg is just a very bad MP38/40. The armoured car does'nt look real! I think it is a toy designers made up one? The front/bonnet reminds me of a Citroen 2CV. The turret looks 60s ish, but I can't think of any A/C it could be. |

MP 38/40 I think too the armoured car no clue! |

Love the armored car. Looks to be a sci fi type transport it also reminds me of Old Crow Sci Fi stuff. |

AC is nothing real and the SMG looks like a MP40. Brian |

I have seen this armoured car model before – as Tarleton et al. note, this is a fictional type with French and sci fi influence I would also guess MP 38/40 |

I agree with everyone about the fictional AC and MP40. |

Wow…I had that armored car as a kid, 30 years ago, I think mine was in molded green plastic. Wow that brought back memories….thanks…and I have no idea what it could be. Ed G. |

The figure is taken from the old Matchbox plastic range, as to why adding another magazine to the weapon- remember these people add bases to prone figures so you can stand them up. |

Okey dokey, thanks guys.
It's what I suspected, but I figured others may know. |

That armored car is kinda shaped like the Cadillac-Gage Commando Scout, although the scout has more pointed edges. |

And so it is.
Thanks Aleator, I think that may be.
Well done! |
