Airfix US Buffalo Amphibian w/ Jeep AIR02301 (1/72)
About the Vehicle
The LVT (Landing Vehicle Tracked), commonly known as the “Buffalo,” was an amphibious armored transport used extensively by Allied forces during the Second World War. Originally designed as a rescue vehicle for flooded areas, it quickly proved ideal for amphibious military operations and was adapted to carry troops, equipment, and vehicles from ships directly onto hostile beaches.
Buffalo amphibians played a major role in several Allied landings, including operations in the Pacific and in Europe. Their tracked design allowed them to move efficiently through water, mud, and sand, while their open cargo compartment could transport troops or light vehicles such as the Willys Jeep, giving landing forces immediate mobility once ashore.
