Back to the bench again, this is part of the upper bridge, I hate it when Revell put such large overflow bits on small items its a pain cutting them off.

Well fitted the prop shafts & rudders, next is the part I hate most masking & spraying the hull.

The hull has been lightly sanded so hopefully the primer will stick.

As you can see I am using auto paint Red Oxide primer.

First light layer on.

At this point the outer doors are not glued in place but I taped them in position for spraying, Also I had a misshape while doing this, I droped one of the outer doors & broke off both locating pins so I need to do a couple of wire ones.

Upward & onward.

I am still undecided as to how to paint this one, after some research I cannot find any reference to LSM-201 ever being painted in camo, the pictures I have showing LSM-201 were taken at iwo jima beach 1945.

Any help on this would be welcome.

That looks really good & interesting John - I bet the Germans would have loved a few of these in 1940!
 
Looks good John. As for your camouflage question, the only decent pictures I could find didn't seem to show any camouflage scheme except for one at Iwo Jima:

Well that's sorted the trucks, after looking at some of the builds of LSM on line there seemed to be something missing all the trucks were "empty" seeing as this is a supply ship I figure I better give it some supply's.
