Speedline 1/16th LCM3

[Ad Lav]

Landing craft ahoy

Collected this Speedline 1/16th LCM3 this morning, really nice bit of kit.

GRP hull and lots of brass and plastic detail parts. Twin 540 motors.

It’s bloody huge - came in a really nice carry box too.

Love that oil canning. Doesn't get much better than that.

Thanks chaps, it was built as a review modelfor a magazine so has some rather nice upgrades and parts.

Looking forward to testing it!

Looks much better than the Torro version!
I have seen it can also be found as a kit, and that makes it very interesting for me.

It’s really nice, this was built by a professional boat builder for a magazine review.

Nice, what vehicles can you fit inside it?

Pretty much Sherman and smaller.

As Tom says, Sherman and smaller. Need to try my Tamiya Sherman.

Here's an interesting read for LCM fans, the Skill in the Surf manual from 1945.
