The 'fuel tank' is the spot to place your batteries and turn the lights on/off.

This car carries a model of a White M3 half-track with a quad 50 machine gun mounting. Two small pallets of artillery shells cover the screw holes of the car.

Looking down you see details such as gas cans, crew seats, and even a gear shift.

The ammo cans are loaded and just waiting for the gun crew!

Neat details include the front winch, fuel cans, and the raised shield to be lowered to protect the driver from gunfire.

The car features a truck with a massive anti-aircraft gun (I'd guess at least a quad 20mm) with 360 degree rotation and 90 degree elevation.

The gun can be lowered to keep the heads down of those pesky commandos from the Pennsylvania RR !

The vehicles may be removed to position them on your layout as you'd like.
