An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:350 scale from the Taiwanese maker AFV Club. The subject is the landing craft for tanks LCT Mk.6 of the US Navy in the form corresponding to the period 1943 to 1945. The model is supplied on sprues, and before the build the parts have to be separated, cleaned up and glued. The particular number of parts, the content of the decal sheet and any photo-etched parts are listed on the box.
The LCT (Landing Craft, Tank) was a category of flat-bottomed craft with a hinged bow ramp and an open cargo deck, meant for putting tanks and heavy equipment ashore directly on a coast. The Mk.6 was the American version; the craft were built divided into sections, so that they could be transported and joined on the spot. The superstructure with the bridge and the engine room was placed at the stern, so that the cargo deck stayed clear along its whole length. Craft of this type were used in landing operations in Europe and in the Pacific alike.
Decide beforehand whether you will build the model with the full hull on a stand or as a waterline model set into the water, as it affects both the order of gluing and the painting. The open cargo deck is the dominant feature of this type, so paint and work its interior before you fit the side walls. Glue with a thin cement for polystyrene, fill the seams of the hull carefully and sand them over. Fit the small parts of the railings and the fittings only after the base coat has been sprayed. Begin the painting with a primer, carry on with the base shade and add the wear; on landing craft the marks of abrasion on the ramp and the cargo deck are typical.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
