Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the American LVTP5A1 amphibious tracked carrier of the Marine Corps (USMC) in 1:35 scale from AFV Club. The model captures the massive landing hull with its spacious troop compartment, an intricate running gear and openable hatches. The box contains plastic sprues, individual link tracks and a decal sheet; paints and glue are not included.
The LVTP5 (Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel) was a large American amphibious tracked carrier that followed on from the amphibians of the Second World War and entered service in the mid-1950s. The LVTP5A1 version was the most widespread form in the troop carrier role; the vehicle could swim ashore from the deck of a ship and land a sizeable squad of infantry directly on the beach. It became best known for its use with the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War (NAM).
Assemble and paint the spacious interior and the running gear before you close up the hull, especially if you want to use the openable hatches for a view inside. Use thin cement on the plastic and assemble the individual link tracks patiently, link by link. Treat the surface with a primer and lay the paint on with an airbrush. Because this is an amphibian, pay attention to the waterline: below it suggest algae, deposits and a different kind of dirt, and above it use dust and mud pigments. Bring out the details with dark washes.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
