Hi all, I already posted this at Modelshipwrights but maybe someone over here knows more about this craft?

Does someone have some more pictures, drawings or other reference or relevant info on the MATC (Mini Armored Troop Carrier)? It was used during the Vietnam war.



Thanks very much in advance,

kind regards
Mark

Mark, Try checking Internet Web Sites for 'Brown Water Navy'

The book I have may prove useful; it’s called Vietnam River Warfare 1945-1975 by Lt Col Victor Croizat USMC. Blandford Press 1984/86
ISBN 0 7137 1830 7

I cannot recognise the craft in the picture (but it looks like a US WWII DUKW).

Hope this helps. Regards, John-B

Hi John,
Thanks for the info!
it's not a DUKW althought it does look a little like it.

I do have some drawings right now and I think I will give scratchbuilding one a try, I'll keep my progress posted here.

hi,

According to what I know, MINI ATC did not see service in Viet Nam. MINI ATC apeared in the begining of the 80s and was used by the USMC for a short period of time.
This is confusing because MATC closely resembles the Medium Seal support Craft MSSC.

Cheers
