This was sold in the 1990s by Formative International under the Soldiers of the World name. For some reason I didn't buy their stuff back then but now I am picking up all of it I run across. They made a huge amount of figures mostly WWII. They also made America Civil War, Revolutionary War, WWI, Korean War, Vietnam and Desert Storm figures. This is from a diorama accessory set for the Vietnam War. This being a 60 gallon oil drum which was used widely by the US Army. A common use was as a poop burner. Empty drums were filled with poop and mixed with gasoline. It was said to be the distinctive smell of Vietnam.
I have it here with my Vietnam era Loach helicopter and 105mm howitzer. This is 1/6 scale which fits the GI Joe figures. The uniforms are Ultimate Soldier.
And yes there is more to come.
