It sounds like the tank version of the Ship of Theseus

Very little is left of the 38t other than tracks and wheels.

As soon as Greg purchases the resin kit there will be an announcement that the same subject will be available as an injection molded plastic kit  :P

We should all chip in to Greg's ludicrously expensive resin kit acquisitions as I believe the mainstream kit manufacturers hack his emails to see what he's ordering to determine what to develop next.

"CANNON TEAL" is an odd name.  Was that the code name for the MAP program that provided the LVTH-6 and AMTRACs to Taiwan?

LVTH-6 is definitely going on my wish list.
