I came across this website for die cast tank models if anyone is interested. My son, a PFC in the Marines is suppose to be heading to school anytime now for Amphibious Assault Vehicles so I thought I'd get one for his upcoming birthday.

Take care and be safe,

This is a photo of the one I ordered him. He is now a LCpl at AAV School at Camp Pendleton.

It's pretty accurate, minus the suspension...the suspension and exhaust is newer in this photo.



versus the old one....



see the difference?
REFURBISHED AMTRACK MAKES DEBUT AT AAS BATTALION (MC NEWS)

Since he is at MOS training, he asked if I would keep it displayed in my living room. His birthday gift in my living room. I can't help but feel like the husband that buys the new plasma TV for his wife for their anniversary.....just in time for football season!

I finally got to see the real things when I visited Camp Lejuene to see my son last week.

Pretty impressive seeing them sitting in that fenced in yard down by the water. I just wish I could have been there to see them running around but it was on a Saturday.

I hope it is OK for me to post this photo...
