L.S.T. Has anyone built the 1/350 version yet?

Yes;

I like fleet units that aren’t loaded with guns. So, has anyone built the kit yet and what did you think of it? Believe it or not I once saw one loaded with windows after conversion to an Island Hopping Ferry!

Presently, I have plans to build Revell’s 1/144 Landing Ship Medium as a gift to a friend but I haven’t attempted the 1/350 yet. I know that AFV has some landing ship kits out and I’ve been looking at them. Good luck.

Tanks it would really help if you listed the kit company, etc.

T-B,

I have not but am also curious as to which kit you are referring. Is it this one?

One largely OOB with Green/Gray/Black camou measure

A second as a HMLST, with modified bridgehouse. I need to pull the trigger and buy some LCAs for the aft davits. I know L’Arsenal makes some resin ones, but I’m hoping that Blackcat makes some in 3D.

Then there is the USS Sphinx conversion to an ARL. Held up waiting on motivation to install the railings all around and to rig the cranes. (Winter is coming.) Based on some drawings from the Library of Congress’ HAER pages.

I have another I want to do as a beached diorama
