leyreynolds Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'm looking for details of the davits on LSI's which held these. Any references/drawings/photo's please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 From a quick Google search. I'm not sure if these will help.

leyreynolds Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 As this is my first RN model, can anyone please give me an idea of the colours used in the disruptive scheme for D Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny L Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Hi, For D Day the standard camouflage pattern was used on most of the LCA. Some of the LCA that were at Juno and Omaha Beaches used a single colour. The official camouflage pattern is used on this LCA model here http://www.dantaylormodelworks.com/landing-craft-assault-10-p.asp The hull should be blue, B30, and white. The decks are dark grey, G10 or G5. There is a colour chart here http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=167118 LCA that went to Omaha Beach https://www.flickr.com/photos/photosnormandie/8122642814/in/album-72157607254609563/ Juno Beach Regards Danny Edited May 18, 2018 by Danny L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, always good to point out to SOME people who claim how accurate "Saving Private Ryan" is that the troops "should" (based on the unit and location involved) have been taken to shore in RN operated LCA's. .

leyreynolds Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 The LCA project has grown somewhat and I'm doing a small section of LSI plus davits to display it. My question now is did LSI's have disruptive colours like warships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
