In this video we build our .50 cal machineguns, install the photo etch, and build a display base on Trumpeters LCM 3 USN Vehicle Landing Craft in 1/72 scale.
The LCM 3 was produced from 1943 to 1945 with some 8,500 vessels built for both the US Navy and for the Royal Navy. Being the larger of the LCM's, this vessel could deliver over 30 tons of cargo, or 60 troops to shore. With this capacity it was able to deliver tanks directly to the beach in support of troops. Armament for self-defense was 2 .50 caliber machine guns. The vessel had a crew of 4 but there were no onboard facilities for the crew to live aboard, so a parent ship was necessary for prolonged deployment.
Eduard produced a Photo Etch upgrade for this kit, Eduard No, 22078, but as of this posting, the kit is out of production.
I hope you find this video informative and enjoyable!
