Yes, both versions served in Vietnam along side the standard LVTP-5. LVTH-6 Vietnam LVTE-1 Vietnam LVTE-1 used in the movie Apocalyse Now too.

Thanks, Gino, put me down for one then.

I think the Philippine LVTH6s are still in service and now sport the brown/white/gray block urban camouflage more familiar on “Berlin Brigade” Chieftans. These pics were some of the vehicles on the ramp at the Philippine Marine Armor base in Manila in 2000.

I served with the 1st Armored Amphibian Company (How-6) in Viet Nam. I started out as an E3 ammo handler on vehicle 13Jr, worked up to E4 and gunner before being promoted to E5 and Crew chief of vehicle 11. I have the AFV Club P5 kit and a resin How-6 conversion that I never built. At the time, AFV Club had announced that a How-6 was in the pipeline but nothing came of it. I have a bunch of pic's of these in the field but I don't know how to add them here.'

If it's based on the earlier release from AFV Club,I hope they keep the same features.

YAT-YAS and Semper Fi! I too have the P5 and resin How-6 in the stash. I also have all the maintenance manuals for the H6 that will hopefully help with constructing an interior. If your willing to share your pictures would be extremely helpful. I spent all my time on the AAVP7A1, I have to rely on any pics and pubs I come across for a P5 and H6 build.

Have you seen the book by High Gloss Publishing ?? It's called LVTP5 Landing Vehicle Tracked Personnel. 4

I made sure to grab a copy as soon as they were available. It is an excellent reference. Reference on the P5 is hard to come by.

Where is it ?? I've emailed Amusing twice have yet to hear from them. I found their E on a Japanese site but it was sold out. They never got back to me either.
