Thank you :) I wanted to reflect some of the use of bridging equipment and genral unseaworthyness of some of the German landing craft.

Also some of it's cargo is What if

We have der Flaming Dingo - or captured Dingo with FLamethrower
and also a Bren Gun Carrier and a French carrier armed with Anti Tank rifles

zenrat

I wouldn't want to cross Albert Park Lake on that let alone the Channel.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

So a cable ferry or transporter bridge converted into a ferry ? Fascinating build  :thumbsup:

It'd need LONG cables, and how would they have got the far ends in position before hauling it across?  ;D :lol:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Rocket powered grapples

With a 27 mile range no doubt?  ;D

Why else do you think they built all those tunnels and bunkers on Cape Gris Ney ? Pardon my French spelling

I may be wrong (and often am)  but to me it looks as though propulsion is a sort of stern wheel paddle driven off the back axle of an AEC Matador  hanging over the blunt end.    I know AEC  vehicle engines were supposed to be reliable, but.........

No doubt captured from an Australian regiment.  :wacko:

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

It was inspired by a picture of a open blitz being used as a paddle propulsion . Although I'm assuming it would have been for a river crossing.
