Hi all,
Does someone have some more pictures, drawings or other reference or relevant info on the MATC (Mini Armored Troop Carrier)? It was used during the Vietnam war.



Thanks very much in advance,

kind regards
Mark

Hi Mark...
Great subject, mate, what are you planning?
Listen, I did a Google search with "Mini armored troop carrier" as the subject and got a TON of hits, lots of good info, too many to list here!
Check it out, and let me know what you're planning on building, mate!

Hi guys,
Thanks for replying! I'm planning on scratching a MATC and do a dio with some seals. I know both links and already informed if they could help me. I received a brilliant brochure from the US Navy with great pictures and other info. The only thing I still need are some pictures, especially of the front of the craft. I'm trying to contact former producers of the MATC and the company that is going to build some soon.
This is just one of may things I'm working on right now among other things that cost (too many) time but I'll keep you informed.
Btw I believe this craft was used during the Vietnam war, can anyone verify this?

thanks again!!
