Hi everyone

I'm looking for any pictures and description of the LVT "Doodlebug" ramp carrier used in the Tinian campaign.

I have a couple that are blurry and are different that I found on the net.

I have started the scratch build with an artistic licence and will post some pictures soon.

Was it built on an LVT-2 or an LVT(A)-2. Build is not finished yet.
I believe more than one variants where built.
Thank you for any help,

Ralph

Hi Ralph
I've got a 1/144th scale 4 view drawing I can send you if need be. According to the caption, the LVT used for the conversion is an early production LVT(A)2.
Just PM me your email if you're interested
