I have a 1/700 sky wave LST kit that I wanted to modify for a six davit configuration and has the pontoons. However I cannot find any painted in the tropical green camo after digging on navsource.

Do you know which LSTs used these camouflage schemes?

Walt,

Check this site out, it'll take a while to lead. Lost of pages to scroll thru.

https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/photography/numerical-list-of-images/nara-series/80-g/80-G-100000.html

I believe you'll find Measure 31-8L, 31-11L, 31-18L.

There are also measures 31-5L and 31-20L , but I havent seen the drawings for those.

Anybody have a source for or diagrams of the green camouflage schemes applied to LSTs in WW II?
Thanks, Walt
