I think those are technically called armored cars, at least traditionally. Wheeled Light tank was the OLD term in the early days of WWII.

If you watch the you tube video that Ryan posted earlier you will see several shots of RHINO South African vehicles I saw them in Iraq and Afghanistan doing de-mining work. There is also a few video clips of the wierdest looking anti mine vehicle the buffalo that has remote arms to reach out and work on de-mining. The work is progressing in Afghanistan because it is one of the most highly mined areas in the world. The Army is helping people around the world and things are going better in both Iraq and Afghanistan than the politicians and meadia have been saying. We loose more Americans to violent crime in our cities than we loose in the current operations and no one mentions that is occuring in the democratic stronghold blue areas of the USA map

Have a blessed Thanksgiving and God bless you

Good friend of mine was in Iraq EOD. His last mission they took a direct IED hit under their RHINO. It blew the back axle off rung all their bells with a couple bleeding from the ears but all survived. He swears by them but never sent me a picture of what the thing looked like before or after.. What a going hom party!! Very glad he was not hurt.. :P

'Cause it's a crew added modification-field expedient, where the public can come up and get a drink if they want.

I've got 80 some and they all fit in one garage.
Mostly 1/35 scale.
And the "toys-r-us" jingle doesn't work on model half-tracks, just so's ya know.
