You're right Charlie, it was insane
but between 1918 and 1939 There was much more ridiculous and interesting projects of military vehicles everywhere... Many of them are known from 1-maybe a few low resolution b-w pictures and it's impossible to design good model or even basic blueprint of that vehicles.... Probably in US it's easier but in Poland, which was completely ruined during WW2 Almost every documentations was stealed by Germans and Russians or was destroyed in the chaos of war...
An example of this is Polish variation about Renault FT which was called "Renault Wz.32"( what means: Renault/Model/1932) It was Vickers E 7ton tank's suspension mounted on Renault FT Chassis...Oficially it was dismantled between 1932-'34yr. For many years that tank was a unicorn...No one ever seen it... Until someone find his photo on e-bay with german soldiers in front of him... That makes another mindfuck... "dismantled between '32-'34" so WTF german soldiers from 1939 are doing on that pic
To present day I know personally only 6 photos of that vehicle but it's still not enough to design a realistic model...
Let me show You something... This connection looks unbelieveable but not for Poles, They did it
Just take a look on this:

He's slowly rises like a Phoenix from the ashes... That's why I love to join the history with modelling
EDIT:
There's one more interesting thing, what You can see on 4 pic...
There are only two tanks which have original Renault tracks, every other tanks have different types of short-links tracks, designed by Polish cpt. S. Kardaszewicz- his modifications upgrades max speed of Renault FT from 7,7km/h to 19 km/h... Over 100% increase of efficiency, it makes an impression
