Nicky Warren nice progress so far good to see someone getting something done
Nicky would the fans your wanting to build be like those from a jet engine could you try an scatch build with thin plastic card and tube.Or someone you know might have an old jet model you could use from,hope this helps

Nicky try this allwoodships.com/.../Amphibious/3,LCAC.htm some good stuff on this site for your refference

Thanks Keith for your tips, the lift-fans for the LCACs in particular are somewhat different than that of the jets. It looks similar to the wheels of the early steam ships with the paddles that propel it across the water. It like two disc with sandwiching some blade on the inside and curve plates on the outside and is enclosed inside the lift-fan module. This is the fan that inflates the rubber skirts and lift the craft off the water.

Regards,

Nicky

Hi all.

Here is my 1/35 Tamiya AAPV7 from 1997.





I needed an excuse to build this one that I bought about 10 years ago at a sale in Penrith.

Thanks for the GB.

Yes Bruce got mine thanks
Thought that there might of been a few more finnished in this campagne but with all that is going on in the world today and the long summer days maybe their will be a few more builds elswhere over the winter months. Thanks again for the ribbon it looks cool next to the others

Hi Bruce,
Ribbon is there, thanks for a great campaign.
Was hoping a few more would have finished.
Thanks again,
Bob

Hello Keith & Bob,
I have figured that you will get 10-15% complete rate for a campaign here at MSW.
I got the 15% for Gator Navy, But only a 10% for Predread campaign. That is what I expected.
But I have an idea running around in my head for some of the people that signed. I have to run it by the staff before I talk about.
Thanks for your entry's.
Cheers,
Bruce

This looks like a fantastic campaign -- I wish I had the time to contribute.

I have plans to build all versions of Italeri's LVTs and have a question for those of you who have displayed your versions here -- did you use the kit tracks or an after market set? If you used the kit tracks can you make any suggestions on improving them? Or, if you used an after market set can you make any recommendations on what ones are available or worth using ?

Thanks.

Brian
