Here is Dragon’s 1/72 AAV finished as a water-line build.  It actually started as kit# 7319, the AAVR7A1 but also includes the UGWS in the box.  I also used some PE from ET Model’s set for the AAVP7A1 w/EAAK.  The water is layers of colored Realistic Water and the waves are shaped from Water Effects set into a 5x7 picture frame.  This was the first time I had ever tinkered with a water base.

The title:  Gator is typical call sign for AAVs and on many occasions Catskills has been the call sign of the amphib ship, often preceded with color such as Green Catskills, Blue Catskills etc.  Charlie-on-time refers to position reports from the ship in reference to the AAV’s position in the boat lane while headed to the beach.
