hello!
I found a pic of an M24 being unloaded from an LCM during the Rhine crossings of 1945,it was from LIFE magazine I believe,but it has been lost in the wasteland of my hard drive!Can anyone provide a copy or point me in the right direction,or even provide more examples??
thanks in advance
Steve

Steve-- I just checked the Formation website and he no longer has the diorama in his gallery. Using the photo John supplied you might ask the webmaster at Formation for the gallery photo. He is a very responsive type of modeler and will help you out.

I've just realized the M24 in the second picture is a different one...

There's another picture here :

John that's precisely the picture

DJ I remember the diorama from the original Formations website,and it's been buried deep in my subconscious since then

Frenchy you appear to have a limitless pictorial reference source,kudos on the second photo and the flickr pic

so now can I use the italeri LCM 3 as a suitable M24 transporter? or is the LCM pictured a different Mark??

thanks again for your help chaps

On a side note, this kit has been re-boxed by Revell (with a Jeep+trailer). Kit #03000.
