WWII US Army LVT-4 Buffalo Amphibious Vehicle 1/35 Resin Vehicle Kit

About This Kit

This 1/35 scale resin kit captures the iconic LVT-4 Buffalo, the amphibious workhorse that proved indispensable during WWII Pacific campaigns. The kit depicts the vehicle in its operational configuration, complete with detailed hull markings including the U.S. Army designation and serial number painted on the side. The elevated ramp is positioned in the open position, ready to disgorge troops, while a helmeted soldier stands watch in the open cabin area, providing excellent scale reference and dynamic presence to the model.

Attention to detail is evident throughout the assembly, from the track and suspension work visible along the lower hull to the subtle weathering and color variation on the hull surfaces. The model captures the characteristic angular profile of the LVT-4, including the distinctive upswept bow and stern sections that gave the Buffalo its amphibious capability. The white star insignia is clearly visible on both sides, a signature marking of American military vehicles from this era.

This resin kit is ideal for WWII Pacific theater dioramas, particularly scenes depicting amphibious assaults, beachhead operations, or transport missions across island waterways. It complements WWII American infantry figures and serves as an excellent centerpiece for collectors focused on authentic amphibious warfare representations.

Painting & Assembly

This kit arrives unassembled and unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom. We recommend using cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin assembly. Clean parts with warm soapy water before priming. Use a quality resin primer before painting with acrylics or enamels. Pin larger joints for a stronger bond.
