Here's a pic from Small Scale HQ :
( thanks Class A Trooper! )

But where's the landing craft, LOL? I'll post some pictures in a couple hours.

Re: 1:72 Landing Craft - Target!

My computer threw a fit while I was hunting through pics. I posted the Dragon+Sherman to show the relative sizes. I was then trying to find the Dragon Wagon+LCM3 image. I've not seen stills, but I have seen film of the event, and it looks awsome!

If you could find some LegioLXXll, then our day would be complete.

Pictures as promised... Keep in mind that though this particular FOV LCM is not weathered, they do make one as well. Also, I left off the MG's on both and the crewman for the Dragon LCM.

Re: 1:72 Landing Craft - Target!

Airfix did a toy one of those in the 70's to go with their plastic solders and tanks. It was very crude, but successfully enabled me + friends to re-enact D-Day in my sandpit. I think I might still have it somewhere at my parents house.
 

Ooops!

Re: 1:72 Landing Craft - Target!

Thanks for the comparitive pics on the FOV and Dragon versions of the LCM3 LegioLXXll. I don't have the Dragon version, but on looking at it I would say that the FOV version could do with a bit more weathering and a bit more of a combination of Rust ( new ) and Rust ( old ).

Despite doing a wee search, I could find no stills from the newsreel footage of the Dragon Wagon carrying the landing craft.

I'll keep trying.
