LVTP-5 in 28mm?

[Mr.Marx]

Hey,

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

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

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 

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...
