Hi, the photos doesn't show a new vehicle.
What I see is a T-90 based IMR-3 Combat Engineer Vehicle which is not amphibious. Btw, this one is dated 2008, if I got it right, which doesn't meet the 1946-2005 timeframe. At last, in my opinion, a nice looking machine with an interesting mine-plow/dozer arrangement. Kind regards,

Looks similar to the IMR 72 which is current. Not exactly like the IMR 72 though. |

Lion in the stars,
I know shipyards has one in 1/144 so he could do you one in 1/100 but it would not be cheap. If you really wanted one you could send him a note via the Shapeways shop. |
thinks Mark's work is among the best available for all-around gaming and painting.
