1/72 Conversion for Dragon LVT(A)-1 (Up-Grade)
Posted: 28 Sep 2012 12:50Well once I gad done the LVT(A)-4,
I decided to try the LVT(A)-1,
This is for the Dragon kit # 7387
When Dragon did theirs they depicted the "Early" model,
even though theirs has the gun shilds,
to protect the MG gunner's backs (these were introduced on the Late model).
Mine is the late model (with bow MG) I even shaved away the rivet detail on parts of the roof,
and portraied them as "counter-sunk" screws as show on the real thing.
here is my attempt
Anyway, I opened up the Hatches, and added the bow MG, so here it is showing what it looks like.
I already have it listed on eBay, just look-up 1/72 LVT(A)-1
Tell me what you think.
