LCU Mk.9 Falklands/Malvinas War

I want to wish you all a very successful 2023.
But before the years end I want to present my interpretation to the LCU Mk.9 used during the Falklans/Malvinas War. It includes a load of Scorpion/Scimitar AFV, all in 1/400. It was very difficult to find detail and clear pictures of the boat during the conflict, so I took some licenses. I hope you like it.

Thank you Tony and Don for stopping by.
I am considering adding some railings to this landing craft.
I still have to finish the HSM Endurance, which I noticed that the only diagram available was inaccurate. The same thing happen with this LCU. The diagrams corresponded to the upgraded version with an enclosed bridge, but during the war it was an open bridge with an awning!

pd; I am also considering doing the HMS Leeds Castle patrol boat, but will need to recruit the help of Bernie or Alan.
