LCVP details


Peter Roberts

Recommended Posts

I have purchased an Italeri 1/35 scale LCVP. My father drove these during the war from HMAS Kanimbla and I would like to build one of these craft.

Can anyone help with what colour these were likely finished on the inside please?

Also, any guides on what colours were used on the outside would be much appreciated - it appears Kanimbla had a three tone camouflage similar to the US ships, but I presume would have used RAN stocks (?).

HMAS Kanimbla's LCVPs probably matched the camouflage of Kanimbla. Are there any photographs of Kanimbla that show camouflage patterns and how the patterns are applied on and around the LCVPs?

I think that the RAN may have tapped into the US supply chain and vessels could have used USN paint stocks.

Cheers

David
