The LARC XV is a large ex Amereican military amphibious machine, which several people have threatened to model but I've never seen one. Yet ! With the model hydraulics, electronics, motors and batteries Etc available now it would present an interesting challenge and be an unusual and impressive working scale model. There are few of these machines left in the world, only 105 were made !

4 of these are in the UK and For 20 years I have been largely responsible for keeping 2 running. I am therefore in a position to supply all the dimensions and technical details needed to construct a model !

It would be good to see a working model made ! Any takers ? Noel
