I really like your work on the Landing Craft,the details are really good and the fact that it is a working representation clearly makes this a unique model. Blake

Hi Love the 109" landy where did you get it,I used to have one a real one that is for about 14 years loved driving it never got carved up by other drivers.Have you thought about converting one to a 90" short wheelbase or even a light weight .
The Lst must take up alot of room in the car ,have you taken it to a model boat meeting bet you would get a lot of interest.

regards pete

The Landy I got from the UK on ebay, had to convert it back to a MK3 and add a bush guard to the front bumper. Except for the tyres it is now spot on for what we used in Vietnam.

There is no boat meets that I know of here in Adelaide South Australia, and I only found the pond a few weeks ago. Apart from me and the ducks it is fairy deserted, but I don't mind.

I have a "Triton" 4x4 duel cab and when I put the LCU and its trailer (sack truck) a couple of tanks the landy my cameras and all of the radios there isn't mush room left.

The fun starts when I get it all unloaded. driving the tanks in the mud is so much fun, chasing the ducks (and last time a pelican) with the LCU. Loading and unloading the tanks on and off making waves and just enjoying life. A great way to spend a few hours and collect your thoughts and unwind.
