Oh. While they look like very nice animals, I cannot be the only one who saw the intro and got all excited about getting a modern water tank trailer in 1/35 styrene.

Me too! I was interested to see if they looked like the ones they send out during disasters, floods, etc. I guess these guys could be used in the event of very high grass, but it's really not the same thing.

Sorry for making you excited but they only have 4 legs not 6 wheels. I wish I can give a news for MPCV asap
FYI - I edited title as Vietnam Water Buffalos.

I was thinking LVT-4 but I guess 'Water Buffalo' was a British designation and the US Army in Vietnam would not have used that name. (Or was it the French using them?)

When I was in VN we called them water buffaloes.
