L.S.T. (Landing Ship Tank)

An easy build if you make the World War II version. It becomes a challenge when you modify the ship to it's current configuration using scratch built and spare parts from other kits. Tooling for this kit is in good condition as there is very little flash and cleaning of parts required.

Old, in a wierd scale, not a lot of detail, some fit issues , but I still had fun with it. It is the biggest injection plastic LST kit out there That I could find. Built one in the early 60s when I was young an two recently . Had some 1/256 detail bits from H&R castings that really helped, but thaey have quit answering thier orders. It needs bits like hatchs, ladders and better guns and I do not have the skills to scratchbuild such. LSTs were modified in many ways during and after WWII , some to the point they were barely recognizable. Outof the box with a god paint job it looks good at five or ten feet away.Closer the lack of details becomes more apparent. Still I had fun with the last one and added two to my stash in case I can find another source for aftermarket parts.

With a little work and detailing this can be made into a very good looking model when finished
