Landing Craft

[LegalAssassin]

I'm looking for allied landing craft reference. Anything is good, but I'm especially looking for detailed LCA, LCVP and possibly LCM blueprints and walkarounds.

I should mention any landing craft should be for an Overlord scene.

I got my MTB plans from Floating Dry Dock.
They're very good and have some LC drawing plans by Tom Walkiowiak. His stuff is good.

Thanks!
I saw two sets of blueprints for the LCVP, wonder which is best. Wish they'd have some form of example... oh well.

The TFW drawings are Tom Walkiwiak's drawings. They show heaps of detail and 3 views. I notice there's the side or front ramp variations there.
These can be better than badly printed original blue-prints as they're done by a modeller who understands what we want. Whereas a crappy plan print can be useless beyond giving dimensions.
hee hee I spent a year printing blue dye plan prints in a drawing office, first year of mech eng. I hate the damn things.

PS Maybe are you interested in German Landwasserschlepper (LWS):lol:

If you come across any Japanese landing craft - especially late-1941 type - let me know pls :)

There's some detailed, but poorly photographed LSM plans on this page: http://www.thaiwreckdiver.com/htms_khraam.htm

If anybody sees anything else for LSMs, especially cross sections, I would be very interested.
