M29C Water Weasel tracked utility vehicle at 1:56 scale

1:56 model of the M29C Water Weasel tracked utility vehicle used in WW2 and Vietnam

The M29C Water Weasel was a derivative of the M29 Weasel (qv). The main development was the addition of flotation chambers to the front and rear of the vehicle, and twin rudders, to provide enhanced amphibious capability. This was limited to inland waterways, as its use in surf or rough water was limited by restricted freeboard, but it served with distinction in the Pacific theatre in WW2, in Korea, and extensively in Vietnam. Both the Weasels served in the US Army, US Marines, British and French armies until the 1970s.
