My 3rd 1:16 RC Amtrac, this time it's the original, the LVT-1. As far as I know there is only 1 model of this in any scale which is a Resin 1/76 from milicast.
So plans and dimensions took a bit of research and guesstimation from photos. It is a fairly simple shape so the body work is easy. For running gear the ever faithful Henglong RC gear and a VsTank ProSherman drive train and two sets of tracks give a solid run on the No suspension pontoons.

Float test is the next stage

Clever stuff. Looks great so far. Is this one going to take the water challenge too? smile

Let this war cry sounding
Summon all at Cambria's call
The mighty force surrounding

Men of Harlech onto glory
This shall ever be your story
Keep these fighting words before ye
Welshmen never yield

I know of a Hobby Shop in Houston that has a diorama that has an LVT as it's central focus. M&M Hobbies in Houston. If you are interested in some pictures, PM me.
