Landing Craft Personnel (Large) US

Based on the successful logging vessel, the Higgins boat, the Landing Craft Personnel (Large) was adopted for use by the British in the raiding role.  The US Navy also ordered the vessel but to a slightly different specification with forward gun tubs and an open well deck.  It was a lttle slower than the British version but carried more men.  Though a few were operated in the European Theatre of Operations, most were employed in the Pacific.

The model master was built by Dan Taylor and is cast by Milicast Models.

Vehicles & Conversions - IBG's new A15 Crusader kits are a bit of a curate's egg.  Though a lot of the detail is exquisite, the roadwheels lack profile and the turret is nearer 1/76 scale than 1/72.  It seems likely this will get some attention soon.
Buildings - A series of architectural features for Normandy style buildings based on pre-war postcards and wartime image.  Along these lines are kits of a water tower (chateau d'eau) and the Cafe Gondree.
