Looks like a smoke unit for RC tanks and armor.
There should be a rotary air pump attached to one of the tubes.
Maybe Henlong, or one of the other model tank manufacturers has more info.

Bonjour Bob,


To my opinion, I would say that this tug is the kit "JAN" of ex manufacture Robbe.


Mine looks quite like yours : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utYZJDJPBVg very powerful with a Stuart D10 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqrJScYCvXA or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkbGPp5QIno


But I don't need any smoke generator in my boats so I can't help you on this accesory.

Thank you both.
Yes Umi it does have an air pump.
Thank you rhavrane it does look like that model, I had estimated about 1/25 scale from the size of the doors.
Such an encyclopedia of knowledge in here, thank you both.
