Description
Made a model for the LARC-V amphibious vehicle with magnets.
LARC-V (Lighter, Amphibious Resupply, Cargo, 5 (V) ton), is an aluminium-hulled amphibious cargo vehicle capable of transporting 5 tons. It was developed in the United States during the 1950s, and is used in a variety of auxiliary roles to this day.
In addition to the United States, LARC-Vs have been used by military forces in Australia, Argentina, Portugal, the Philippines, Singapore and Iceland. Approximately 968 were made. About 500 were destroyed, most by scuttling during the American withdrawal from South Vietnam. About 200 have been retained in U.S. military service. Roughly 100 are privately owned and mostly used for tourism.

You will need to glue the top to the bottom body, as well as the wheels and top canvas.
I used 5x1mm magnets:

Tip : You can download the 3MF file and add in positive/negative parts to suit the size of magnets you have on hand!
