Here is the Italeri LVT-4 Water Buffalo. It was a fairly quick build with a few fit problems. I thought I would share with you all.
It looks very good. How were the tracks to assemble and how did they go on the model?
Very nice job Mark! did you build the kit right out of the box OOB? You’ve acheived a good weathered look. It would be nice to see additional shots of your build if possible? Thanks for sharing an interesting subject with us. Semper Fi, Mike
i also built this model and the tracks were pretty annoying to build. each side had two bands that had to be glued together. the tracks were fairly stiff and difficult to put on.
Looks good!
I had the problem with the tracks also. The two rubber bands were a pain to keep together and get on the wheels. They were very stiff. The kit was done OOB except for the two ropes for the rear ramp and the antenna. I weathered it with several washes and rust paint.
Looking great. A kit you don’t see often. Thanks for sharing.
mark… good, clean build and fantastic weathering. thanks for sharing and ditto mike on the extra pics if we can see them.
[:D] great build,nice work.i should have mine done pretty soon and i will share it with you folks,again nice work.[:D]
Nice LVT, I’ve got one done and collecting dust on while it waits for me to get its dio base done. Looking at yours, I want to add some more weathering to mine, it looks a little too “new”. Yours looks great. Those tracks are a pain, aren’t they? I thought I was going to break the drive sprocket off one side putting them on.
Thanks for all the positive feedback! I will try to get some other photos up. I do have another version of it with the turret. This kit would really benefit from aftermarket individual track links.
