This model is designed by Deweycat Productions (Canada).
In the 1930s. with foresight of future potential conflicts, the US Marines sought a tracked amphibious vehicle capable of carrying men and equipment to shore and then traversing on land. The initial design, based on an existing model produced for use in the Everglades, was quite capable but was unarmoured.
The first major production of armoured Landing Vehicles – Tracked, L.T.Vs – or “Amtracs”- commenced after the USMC pushed for the adoption of an armoured LTV, for both personnel transport as well as fire support LVTs. The first use was in the Tarawa landing in 1943 and later by American, British and Canadian forces in Western Europe.
The LVT was developed and modified into the later model of the “Buffalo” with the engine moved from rear and a drop gate at the rear – this model is the earlier rear engine model.
The LVT (B)- This variant provides an option to have a Light AT gun turret OR Flame Thrower for clearing hard points supported by two pintle mounted MMGs.
