These were in my Tyco G.I. Joe box. I don't think they're original to the set, but I do know other companies released army sets. Does anyone recognize these? There is a tank, a German AA gun, and a sidecar for a motorcycle.

The only company that I know of that made HO WWII armour was ROCO. AHM imported some armour as well, but I do not know who made it.
The AA gun and side car look to be over scale and may actually be 1/76 scale items made by Nitto/Fugimi.

I did some quick googling for the tank, but I haven't seen anything yet. The back of my AHM boxes didn't show any matches either. I'll have to look a little harder.

That's a Russian tank. Never saw one in that scale before. I guess you can paint it as a captured tank in German service just so you can use that little flak gun.
If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right.

ok I know these kits ironically
the tank is a matchbox T-34/76 kit I had the exact same unit once
the AA gun is a quad flack 38 don't think matchbox created that kit, but that's a start for ya!

Actually, you could use the flak and tank on flat bed rail cars. The Germans used old tanks to provide protection to supply trains. The flak became very important once they lost air superiority and the trains became prime targets.
For those who like to model in larger scale, DML and Trumpeter both have a line of 1/35 scale WWII German armored rail equipment available. I gave all mine to the owner of the local train store and he is converting it to G-scale.
