About product

The British Buffalo Mk II in 1:35 scale

A decal set from Star Decals for the amphibious tracked carriers that the British called Buffalo. According to the name it covers the LVT-2 and LVT(A)-2 forms and three particular episodes of the close of the war in Western Europe: the landing on Walcheren, the fighting at Nijmegen and the crossing of the Rhine. It is a set of markings for a model in 1:35 scale.

The real subject

Amphibious carriers of American design reached the British and Allied inventory above all because of the water obstacles in the Netherlands and in the Rhineland. The machine moved on tracks on land and in water drove itself with grousers on the track links, so it could run from the bank straight into a flooded polder. The LVT(A)-2 version differs from the basic one in the added armor of the hull. The landing on the island of Walcheren in the autumn of 1944 was meant to open up the port of Antwerp and in that flooded country it would not have been feasible without amphibious hardware.

Painting and application tips

The hull is densely riveted and divided up by strips, which is the most demanding base for decals there is. Apply the design onto a generously laid gloss varnish, use a stronger softener and draw the excess water off, so that the carrier film settles between the rivets. Salt and muddy water also leave bold water lines on the sides, which are best suggested once the markings are finished.

Who the set is for

  • modelers of amphibious hardware in 1:35 scale
  • builders of British and Allied vehicles of 1944 and 1945
  • anyone interested in the fighting in the Netherlands and in the crossing of the Rhine
  • diorama builders who want a scene with water and mud

FAQ

It was the British service name for the American amphibious carriers of the LVT family; the LVT-2 version carried the designation Buffalo Mk II.

The version with the letter A in its designation has added armor on the hull; otherwise it is the same amphibious carrier.

Yes, but a gloss interlayer, a stronger softener and patient drawing off of the excess water pay off, so that the film settles between the rivets.
