Historical Context:

The LVTP-5 (Landing Vehicle Tracked Personnel) was the US Marine Corps' primary amphibious assault vehicle from 1956 to 1985. The A1 variant featured improved engines and transmission, providing reliable amphibious transport for Marine infantry from ship to shore and inland operations. It saw extensive service in Vietnam and remained the Marines' workhorse until replaced by the AAV7, carrying up to 34 combat-equipped Marines.

This kit is ideal for intermediate to advanced modelers interested in US Marine Corps vehicles, amphibious warfare, or creating detailed Vietnam War and Cold War dioramas. The unique amphibious design makes an impressive and distinctive display piece.
