Greetings All;
Last Oct-November I asked for some help on a Lindberg LST. It was to be done for a New Hampshire university professor who wanted a model of his father's WWII ship. I finished the job and have posted some images in my gallery. Now I know you may find some questionable areas. The images of the actual LST were taken during a late period of the war and the white dazzle scheme was being overpainted in a WWII measure of a monocoloured nature. Be gentle you old salts as you may already know I am an avowed WWI aviation modeler. My attempt here was to honor a WWII pacific fleet vet. My own father was on BB56 for a time.

Hi Stephen!

You have done a great job out of that Lindberg model!
My only remark is:
- the waterline on the bow should be aligned

Appart from this, a think your friend will be happy

Don't give up the water subjects
