    LCH 130 An Australian landing craft

    I was given an Australian Landing Craft Heavy 1/72 scale hull and asked if I could build it for a friend here in Adelaide.

    This is where I am going with it.
    It should look something like this

    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                    Splashed some paint on the undercoat, nearly there.

                        It is summer here in Australia and that is good for modeling and it sometimes takes a few days before I upload videos. So the time frame is a bit out but it didn't take long to paint. There is only 5 colours, 2 grays one black and white, and one red. easy.

                        Got a couple of photos taken by a couple of club members of the craft at the pond on it's first public showing.











                        The truck in the last photo is also RC, so when the front door drops it can drive out.

                        Cheers Chris

                          thats cool ...

                          too bad can't do something like that where I run really.... the dock we run off is just too tall and the shore is marshy and covered 10ft deep with reeds and weeds (hense the dock)

                          the dock however is the PERFECT height to smash and snap details off your deck if your not careful The Titanic

                            Hey Oztruck, what length is that hull? It looks bigger than 1/72 I swear.

                            Would you know if the hull was made by a guy in TF72 by the name of Steve B....?
                            Great job by the way..

                            Thanks
