Having just picked up the Italeri LVT-4 Water Buffalo kit cheaply, I want to build a British version of the vehicle.
Firstly, did these vehicles operate with any unit other than 79th Armoured Division in British service? (Other than 79th Div's vehicles being allocated to other units).
Secondly, I know that some, if not all LVT-4's in service were fitted with 20mm Polsten Guns, but were the British vehicles used in any other configuration?
Lastly, other than weaponry, were there any other changes to the vehicles, for examples sake, a command variant? Or the removal of the hull MG?
I would be grateful for any information, and if your information leads to any extra products, please try to make them low budget friendly!


EDIT: Perhaps looking at a couple of What If options as well, perhaps an Royal Marine Armoured Support Group version painted in the pinky brown colour their centaurs were painted in, or a post war modified APC version.
I live on the Kent coast, and I have heard that in a nearby town that some oyster farmers used LVTs after the war to go out and gather oysters. Does anyone know if this is true/have any pics?
