I still have some barrel sections from my very OLD Renwal "Ontos" kit, but not enough to assemble anything good.  The "Ontos" (Greek for "Thing" they said) was a small 2-3 man tankette designed for USMC mostly, I think, that mounted six 75-mm. (3-in) rifles.  It carried the ammo inside a rear door, but a poor crewman had to hop out and load all six, one supposes under-fire, and then get back in before they were salvoed.  The r.r. had a back-blast a lot like the rocket-firing bazooka that would singe the hell out of a grunt if he stood behind it.  Funny looking shells, with like perforations on them.  The little armored 'thing' looked like a winner, but the armament...!  Wick
