LOL! My neighbor came over and said “I know I shouldn’t believe anything on the internet, but…”
It would seem to me that if drawings could be had, it would not be hard to build this.
I came across a web site that should be of interest to you.
They do mention LCM-6 . No LCM-8.

Hello!
I even have those drawings… Mr. Carrico used to sell them on a CD. But now his business is gone…
Have a nice day

Hi;
Having owned 1:1 modified versions of thos exact vessels I can say , Building one is easier than it looks . I do think one of the R.C. Model companies did offer a hull . Can’t remember which though . Simple lines and fairly straight , forward bottom . T.B.
TB,
I’m not sure if it was me you were addressing (Gary), but I was not confused about the LCM-6 and LCM-8. This schematic clearly says LCM-6:

I was interested in the CCB as my brother was radio operator on one coming up on 50 years ago. He was stationed out of Dong Tam, though he said they were rarely at the base. He was wounded in February, 1969 while out on a mission, and honorably discharged later that year due to his injuries. He just turned 70 this year, and I was thinking about building a CCB model for him if there was one available, but apparently scratch-building might be the only way for me to do it. Thanks!

Thanks Nino! glad this post has generated some good discussion and knowledge sharing!
Hi;
I am not really sure if that was for you or not . I have a problem with names , seems there’s too many Garys ! Lol. My name is Gary too !
Does anyone know where the PBR’s were fueled at?
Fuel dock (sorry, had to say it [:)])
Deck plate, aft:
For reference:
There’s usually a funnel stowed under one of the engine hatches with the small end poked into a coffee can.
i had a feeling it was the small ports at the rear, thanks fo the help! waning to make sure i get my detailing right [H]
Over at ModleShipWorld, the NRG apparently has new, spacious digs, so, they are building a 1/6scale PBR.
Hmm, wonder if the 3d print shops will make a set of the “Diesel Only” caps for the 1/35 PBR? [:)]
Hasbro made a nice figure set for that model…
Hello gentlemen.
I make this construction now, saddened, it is in French, I hope that it will please you.

Hi,
Thanks for the link. That looks fascinating, and Google translate does a reasonable enough job at translating for me to understand most of the text [:)]

Nice post on the ATC (H). Worth noting that the helo-deck ATC were one in ten. The bulk of ATC ought have an “A” frame canvas cover to shelter the passengers from sun and rain.
Kind of a shame that the kit does not render the tops of the trurrets as a separate item, many period photos show them stowed along the side rather than over the gun mounts.
I hope you do not mind English, as mon francais c’est ***.
Well, oops, it seems Kalmbach’s censorbot recognizes a common French word for excrement. Sorry about that.
Hello.
Great satisfied that it pleases you, anyway, I would make a complete comment here when I would have finished him, because I do not arrive has to do that of warpaints and having done it here, but it is promised, I would put quite here.
