I do stand corrected. My previous post should also have mentioned their use by the Brits in Europe as well as the US Army.

Re: LVTP-7 Build Pictures
Thanks Andy! I have not been able to work on it lately, but just 5 Min. ago got a new smoke unit for it that will take up much less room. I will try to get it installed this evening and yes, I will take more pictures of it. I have also been kicking around plans for a track adjuster for the LVT 4 that looks somewhat like the original. When I get a prototype done I will post it.
