Trumpeter's 1/144 scale LCM(3)!

Trumpeter included markings for both a dark blue Pacific LCM and a D-Day boat in grey. I airbrushed it Navy Blue 5-N for the Pacific boat, but I overdid the light grey streaks added for weathering so much that it ended up looking grey. Rather than redo things, I just went with it and added more grey and used the D-Day markings.

The only changes I made to the kit were to add a sheet plastic door and handle (the doors weren’t flush-mounted as Trumpeter depicts) and semicircular mounts for the life rings.

Nice build! 

 

Good luck standing up to operate those two MGs though - the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan come to mind. Kind of ironic having a life ring on that thing - seems like falling overboard would be a lucky break actually!
