Very nice Al. I have both the USN and JSDF kits in the stash.

A fine looking build alec. Not sure what the mistake is though.

Hello Steve - look at the starboard directional cowling, that's actually suppose to be as it is but on the port side, the same port side directional cowling needs to be pulled off, the top turned round and the cowling replaced and the whole box section dropped into the ''starboard'' side.
With PE and secure glue points in 3 locations on each section, there's no way I'd be willing to move these into the correct locations, very few people noticed this mistake, because I built the darn thing, my eye is automatically drawn to every time I see this LCAC, and as I said, this is a great kit, but the instructions are just slightly misleading, 4 pix 2 of each showing internal and 2 showing the external view, and silly old me followed the internal views, and that's why the 2 cowlings box sections are on the wrong sides. It happens.

Very nice build Alec; I have the 1/72 JMSDF version, and it is huge! I like the smaller version, better suited for interesting displays.

thanks for sharing, cheers

Smaller ? How is this for smaller lol

I have actually built a few of these very nice 1-700 LCAC but at the moment have not posted here, everything seems to be on the go slow I just can't get my brain into gear.

Nice work, Alec! Really cool detail! I keep thinking about getting this sometime to add to my ever growing stash of stuff I'll probably never finish.

With all the talk of the different versions between JMSDF and USN, why is yours listed as USN? It's definitely the JMSDF version, considering the Japanese flag and the fact that it's carrying around Japanese tanks (Type 74 and Type 90).
