Looks like the UK was inspired by the German LWS to develop and test the Argosy series of tracked amphibious carriers.  This is a vehicle that was until today unknown to me.  Found it while reviewing the alpha listings on the JED Site.

For the ultimate in amphibious vehicles, check out the Monster Garage Pontoon Party Bus!


Google was not very forthcoming on the images front, so I had troble finding pics of it in operation...

Here's a link to a gallery of pics including build up screen caps and the bus in action.

So you see, the big red double decker cruising down the thames is not such a silly idea! Except that the pontoon party bus can't actually carry passengers when in bus mode... but with a double decker now...
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.
