Looks great!!

Still don't understand though why they can't make the molds on these bigger trucks as a one piece frame. If you mess up one part, it can throw off the whole model.

In any event it looks wonderful and can't wait to get my hands on one!

Check out LM...I just put in my order...http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=TP01011

Hang on as this may be a Lucky Model ad typo? Why is the listing date 2008??!

This is error.
here is:
Product Description

JMSDF Landing Craft Air Cushion

00106 LCAC JMSDF The JMSDF LCAC (Landing Craft, Air Cushioned) was introduced from the US as a landing craft of LST Osumi class ships. It cruises with its hull floated about four feet above the surface. Therefore it is capable of landing directly from the mother ship to the beach, and swift loading and unloading of vehicles. This makes it possible for troops to access 70% of the world's coastline, while only 17% for conventional landing crafts. It can carry heavy payloads of 60 tons, equal to one Type 90 tank, or four armored vehicles. The four 4000hp engines, two for floating and the others for propelling, are mounted separately in both modules of the hull. Although JMSDF LCACs were originally planned as LST-based crafts, in 2004 they were assigned in the 1st air cushioned craft squadron. They were numbered from LCAC-2191 to LCAC-2196, and started to be treated as defense ships.

They should still honor that price for you. It's their mistake and typo.

Great. Thank you. I have a note into LM

Well gunner platform is included you need to make some surgery on the folding bench. Nothing hard.
Don't glue the lid of the roof. Mine is closed this is an OOB build.
There is no weapon inside. And no gunner shield and mount, but those items can be found within numerous AM companies.

Maybe you want a pic???

Is anyone out there working on AM canvas for any of theses trumpeter kits? M1073, M1083, MTVR all look like popular markets for some PE bows and covering kits!

Clean build man! A "Tractor" hummmm...

Nice kit...Good luck Seb...

Ok Seb your killing me with these pictures, I got to get and fast. Great build and looking forward to the rest.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

OK thanks.

I didn't read about this. The only item I know is from Real Model for the M923.

Surely but slowly
Almost there

Enjoy:

Dude I’m so jealous, I ordered one from the local hobby shop. I’m hoping for two, one for some sort of up-armored gun truck? Can’t wait for paint. …sand or camo.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

So painting scheme will be:
Bonnet sand
Frame NATO green
Cabin 3 tone NATO
Gunner mount and platform NATO green
Flat bed 3 tone NATO
Maybe doors in Sand too

Wow nice combo.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

BTW: I fixed the jersey barriers...thanks

If you are lazy, you can go for the overall NATO green too

Good to know for the jersey barrier.

Almost done.
Next week end will be a 3 days week end so enough time for painting
