Hello all, I am going to start on my LVT A 1 here soon and need some help. First is what do the uniforms of the marines in the pacific look like that crewed these machines? I found a few pics, but they were only B&W. Also im looking for any good pics of the actual tank. Anything will help at this point. Thanks

Verlinden has several variants. It does not take too much effort to convert a WW II US Army figure into a Marine configuration. Just don't put any Marine in a tanker jacket. Also, there are several US Navy figure sets available. They wear life preservers and can be placed in the turret. I would recommend that you switch out the heads if you use them.
