L.S.T. (Landing Ship Tank)

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

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.

Fun model to build, don't stop short on doing the rigging and the railings, those add a great look to the ship.
