Hey,
Does anyone know anywhere that sells a LVTP-5 that would be suitable for 28mm?

Cheers,

I don't think so... but it would be a BIG model. :o

Nope but it would be a good suggestion for Brent at Company B. It would be a honking great lump of resin though, make a bloody good doorstop.
I've contemplated scratch building one myself in the past. Basic shape is pretty simple but it would be a big job.

I would imagine he has some maguffin that would create a hollow model, otherwise I imagine a plague of hernias and back sprains across the Vietnam gaming community.

well... if you need a LTVP-5 in 28mm probabbly what will cause you an hernia will be your gaming table...

Company B eh? Is this Brent on the LAF?

It would only be ~6"x3"x3" in 1/56th by my simple estimations. Bloody big by 'historical tank' standards, but pretty average compared to silly-big sci-fi tanks.

You are right... essentially about an inch or two smaller in length than a 40k Rhino APC, but otherwise of similar size. Oddly it is also roughly comparable to a M113 in 1/35th Scale too.
I'd be inclined to buy one if I could however. :)

Empress have an AAVP-7A1, which does the same job.

Well if you can accept that they are totally different vehicles separated in time by a mere twenty or thirty years and look nothing like each other then, why not?
I think there are a few companies that make German A7Vs, presumably they'd make good stand ins for Panthers, after all they do the same job. :)

Something like that could be cast hollow as one piece, like a piece of terrain. Or made with separate resin tracks.
Add it to the Cold War want list :D
I'm sending off a few more Bush Wars models for casting today. So prep/design planning for more Cold War era kit can commence! Looking at the want list though it looks like the BTR-60p and those French Panards have adequate numbers.
And we also now have our French Crews for our two armored cars as well...
