Guess what I got?
Posted by RAF120 on Friday, July 9, 2004 10:21 PM
Tonight at my club meeting I bought $5.00 worth of raffle tickets and won Trumpeter 1/35 WWII US Navy LCM (3) Landing craft. I think this ones moving near the top of the to-do list, maybe number 2.
It looks like a really nice kit so now I need help for you all to find reference photos and any other info about the the kit would be nice to.
I'll be away for a week so don't be worried if I don't answer right away.
Thanks
Trevor Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?

Lucky you. I just paid $58, including shipping, for mine. It does look loike a great kit though. I will be starting mine soon. May stretch it to an LCM6 and build it as a Vietnam era Monitor or ATC(H). I can't wait to get started.

That's a great conversion idea. I wish I had the skill to do stuff like that. I'm too busy screwing up dry transfers to be stretching landing craft. [laugh]

I definitely want one of these for the shelf. Just have to knock the rust off on something smaller before I tackle this one. Keep us informed when you start this build!
