About
This is a static model converted to be operational via radio control.
The Landing Craft Mechanized - Mark III "LCM (3)" was built from an Italeri kit. Even though the Trumpeter kit is more popular for R/C conversion due to the deeper hull (allowing more radio and motor space), Lew chose to use the Italeri kit for accuracy. A fourth crew member was added (as there should be four) via a Trumpeter #99408.
This 1/35 scale model is powered by two older (1990's) Futaba digital servos converted to drive the two propellers. By removing all of the gears the servos will now move in both directions individually and have some speed control as the transmitter stick is moved, plus reverse. A third (also older) servo is in place for the rudder.
