1/35 LVTP-7 Landing Vehicle Tracked-Personnel

The LVTP7, which entered the Marine Corps inventory in the early 1970s, was a quantum improvement over the short-ranged LVTP5 of the Vietnam era. Weighing in at 23,991 kg combat-loaded, and with a three-man crew, it can carries 25 Marines. With a road speed of 72 km/h, it is also fully amphibious with water speeds up to 13 km/h. It is not as heavily armed or armored as the Armys Bradley infantry fighting vehicle; on the other hand, the M2A1 Bradley carries only seven troop passengers. In 1985 the Marine Corps changed the designation of the LVTP7A1 to AAV7A1 -amphibious assault vehicle -representing a shift in emphasis away from the long-time LVT designation, meaning landing vehicle, tracked.
