Speedline 1/16th LCM3

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.

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