Not sure on that one. I'm sure there is a 1:35 kit of one somewhere or a 1:32 version made by Britains or King and Country (they often make very unique armored vehicles). In the affordable 1:32 scale lines (namely 21c and Unimax FOV) there are none. I do not even know of one made in 1:72 yet.

An LVT would make an interesting vehicle candiate for a company like Unimax - as would so many other vehicles!

BMC made a soft plastic 1/32 LVT-1 that isn't bad, although perhaps a bit large.

Nitto/Bluetank/Modelcraft made a 1/32 LVT-5 (the one with the 75mm howitzer in a turret) in kit form. It's labelled as 1/35, but it's definitely closer to 1/32. It's an older kit, and a bit crude, but builds up and paints OK.

Italeri has 3 different variation kits in true 1/35. They're nice, modern kits.

I hope this helps.

Figarti has made an LVT. A bit pricey but a good looking piece. The BMC doesn't look bad if you paint it. The BMC goes for $8-$10.

FOV has also produced a nice LST in 1/72. It is from their 2009 releases.

Both look pretty cool.
