Title: Pendraken LVT Buffalo ?
Post by: Sunray on 09 April 2020, 07:31:34 PM
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?!

Shows how much money and resources the UK had to burn, doesn't it!

I'm just glad no one showed Churchill the Ratte :D
