It depends on which landing craft it is. Rob is correct about British sailors landing a large number of US troops, but they didn't use every type of US landing craft. The large landing craft carrying the stack Sherman looks to be US manned. I'm not sure American sailors landed any British armour or that the Brits used this particular model of landing craft. If this was a type of landing craft used by the Brits, it would look better with a British crew landing a Firefly. I wonder if there will be multiple small production runs with variations of this model?

Let's wait for the dispatches - that may clear things up.

I was thinking along the same lines Terry maybe there will be a variant of the landing craft with british crew? lets hope so but looks like it wont be in this months dispatches.

Cheers Craig

Nope, a whole bowlful, with fresh clotted cream. Hmmmmm.......D'oh!

Not Blueberries, M-U-L-L-B-E-R-R-I-E-S!

No wonder there is confusion. The plural of Mulberry dock or harbour is not mulberries, it's just mulberry

No one would have a bowl of mulberries - it would be a bowl of mulberry.

I don't think even one Mulberry would fit in a bowl. The sections ships would tie up to were 200 ft x 60 ft or almost 7 ft long at 1:30 scale

That wouldn't be eating - it would be gorging and he would explode like Mr. Creosote having that one small mint after dinner.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone eat at the Royal National. Well, not more than once.

Don't worry, they do open and close.

The new US Figures in multiples are going to look so good in these LCVP's,straight out of SPR,and on those new JG Mats will look awsome.
