3D model description

The battle in the pacific rages on, with particularly fierce fighting in the island hopping campaigns between USMC and IJN forces. For the Marines, the LVT-4 has evolved well beyond it's humble cargo transport origins and is a core element in their assaults.

The LVT-4 carries up to 20 Marines, or can deliver either a Jeep or 105mm Howitzer with crew and support. Primary armament is a pair of either .50 cal or CB-H1 Napalm Throwers in shielded pintle mounts. Supporting these are three additional .30 cal's split between the bow and pintle's.

Whilst the LVT-4 "Water Buffalo" delivers death in the form of angry Marines, the LVT(A)-4 joins the amphibious assaults to provide fire support with it's M2 75mm Howitzer. With the recent advancement of IJN armor however, many are being refit with OQF 17 pounders to combat this new threat.

The upper hulls swap letting you change between any of the variants.

This is a kitbash of much more talented people's hard work, without which anything like this would be far beyond my abilities. My sincere appreciation to the original authors listed here:
