I got my Ringo T-92 light airborne tank in the mail today. It looks like it was originally an ITC (Ideal Toy Company) kit that was motorized. No date or anything on the box or instructions. This is a larger scale, bigger than 1/35 so I would guess 1/32 scale.

The main gun is 76mm and sits atop the turret, straddled by twin M48-type commander's cupolas. One holds a .30 cal and the other has a .50 cal. There is an offset driver's hatch and a crew entrance hatch at the rear. The tracks for the actual tank were band-type like the M114 or M3 half-track series. There is a spare track section that wraps around the rear of the turret for stowage and additional armor.

From what I remember about the tank that I saw at APG, it is a real large tank. Much bigger than the Sheridan and M113 series. This kit is big too, that's why I am guessing at the scale.
