The Royal Australian Marines, that is!  ;)


This is half of the build I'm doing for the Operation Downfall GB over on WIM.

Where I'm at right now;



72 of those little PE angle iron strakes. Almost as bad as doing indi-link tracks! ... Almost!

Trumpeter or Italieri LCM kit?

Thanks, BT!  :smiley:

Trumpeter.

I've read enough to know it may have some issues BUT it's what I could get at the time & it seems to (thankfully) have less reinforcing angle-iron ridges than the Italeri kit.  ;)
