cutter Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Good evening to everyone First I will beg your pardon for my english , but I will try my best in order to communicate as well as possible . I'm 56 , and enjoy to build some models since approximately 40 years ; bu I have stopped for a long time. My favorite is the "scratch" at 1/35 of landing ships or engineering / maintenance / workshop trucks . As project I've the LCM mark I , I'm collecting every kind of documents , but I'm quiet frustrated to find so few pictures and blueprint when somebody does have some , of cause I will be interested ! in advance thank you for your reception regards D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Welcome aboard! There's very little detailed information on the LCMs available. The Trumpeter 1/35 and Hobby Boss 1/48 kits are very iffy in their depiction of the ramp winch, ramp latch release, conning station, and other details. There is a book on the LCVP, The Boat that Won the War: An Illustrated History of the Higgins LCVP, with some good information on that craft. There are videos on youtube that show LCM and LCVP operations--they are a fine source of operational details. FWIW, I did some work on the HB 1/48 LCM-3 to improve it; the build thread has links to youtube videos and other references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
