The Cadillac Gage Commando is a 4x4 amphibious armored car built by the American firm Cadillac Gage. The vehicle has been outfitted for many roles, including armored personnel carrier, ambulance, fire apparatus, anti-tank vehicle, and mortar carrier. They saw service in the Vietnam war where it became known as the Duck, or the V. It was also supplied to many US allies, including Lebanon and Saudi Arabia which used them in the first major ground engagement of the 1991 Gulf War.
The V-100 series of vehicles was developed in the early 1960s by the Terra-Space division of the Cadillac Gage company. By 1962 a patent was filed and received by Terra-Space for a vehicle then only known as the Commando. The first prototype emerged in 1963, and the production variants entered service in 1964.

I made this thing from scrap using a picture from the internet, took me 5-6 hours. .30 cal barrels, tires, showel and axe are not mine, though i cant remmeber from who i downloaded and edited those, any way - the credit for those parts goes to those people, not me. The model is relatively acurate, it had some problem since i am not an expirienced modeler and this is my first model.
