I agree, this is a great find. Pics from Barstow storage area are nearly impossible to find. P-O _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates

I think the world is getting smaller or simply I had a luck to find this photo gallery. But last days I find photos that some years ago I couldn't find even if tried a lot.

I believe the guy who posted these pics is a modeler on the Finescale forum. If it's the guy I'm thinking of, I think he's an AMTRAC'er at Camp Pendleton. _________________ Chris "toadman" Hughes www.toadmanstankpictures.com www.cafepress.com/toad...ksandstuff

There should still be several LVTP6's sitting in the desert well north of Barstow near a certain pig pen _________________ Rob Another Ontos Guy

blackdog,
Many thanks again for these rarely seen vehicles! Particularly for the pics of the many pics of the Type 4 Ka-Tsu!

Anyone care to help/try identify these until I get home to check Hunnicutt?
