LCAC-83
The top of the front skirt is to flat in my opinion
After some scraping the shape is more what you observe in fotos
The propellers are molded into the shrouds an look very bulky, so I decided to make my own proepllers
Comparision of the part OOB and the improoved version
The air ducts can also use some refinement. First they were hollowed out
Then the protective grid was added from stretched sprue
The Superstructures come a very finely detailed parts. But to use the MK1 PE set we have to cut them apart
The very nicely detailed PE mesh added. Everything fits very well
I decided to add the air inlets on the inside of the superstructure. Not very visible, but otherwise theres only one big void.
All the main parts in place and primed
On the pilot house I added some cables, a GPS-Antenna and a nav. radar from scratch as the Trumpeter kit hat this area void of details
On the port side I added a mastfor some position lights an an antenna mast from copper wire.
The deck painted and weathered. Zje yellow lines were aibrushed.

TreehuggerWow, what an eye catcher. 🙂
Is the large ship kit ok in your opinion?

Ingmar StöhrThank you mates!
@Treehugger: It seems so. I have the kit I'm my stash for a while now. Can't comment on fit, but the details look good and I'm Shute one can build a stunning model of this kit with the use of the available PE sets. I also don't know of big accuracy issues. But this build is only about the LCAC. Not going to build the Wasp right now.
