Sea Trials Successful. After three weeks of construction this once piece of plywood functions well as a 1/72nd scale LST.
The tank is a modified Micro X Tech R/C model

Too Slow,

Since there was no new images or information this week, I went ahead and finished up the plans with the information I have.

Just a few markups to fix from here.
