Photos On the way to the Rhine...

Just to avoid any confusion: THIS IS NOT MY WORK!!!!
I have a truckload of unbuilt models lying around and a few months back I told friend, who is a gifted modeler, about all these unopened boxes. He asked if he could built them for me and I was very happy to oblige! As I think that this one came out quite nice I wanted to share some pics with you.

Well done and thank you, Yves!!!!

LVT-5 „Alligator“ which makes it historically inaccurate! They had LVT-4 „Buffalo“ on the Rhine but afaik no LVT-5.

Thank you Skyline Drive wasn't really aware of the LVTs and their significant role.
