Am I losing it?  Did Pendraken  ever produce two versions of the LVT ?  One dry land and one waterline. (with crews& marines) I don't seem to be able to find them in the WW2 ranges .

There's VM37 and VM38 in the Indo-China range. Also VM31 . . .

Also BRX10 in the WW2 British range, but no photo. Wonder is this is the waterline one?

Ah the heavy weight of the international date line..... :D :D

Also I'm getting bored here without wandering around the town chatting to people, so I'm pouncing on anything to which I can respond.... :D :D

Well if you are a day ahead, then no wonder you got in first!

I still look at that photo of the waterline ones, and think why did I take it on a grass mat  ;D

Many thanks everyone - for some reason I associated the LVT with WW2 Marine range.  Forgot it might be hiding in Indo China !

Oho! These were the top secret, low profile buffalos, fitted with a dredge out the front , a conveyor belt and a spreader at the rear so that they always travelled in their own pond of water and were able to use the cunningly low profile as an advantage!!  :D :D

Maybe they're tiny late war prototypes of Churchill's trench mole concept?!
