Bancroft's military series of RC vessels introduces the 1/16 scale LCM3 Landing Craft. The Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM) was a landing craft designed for carrying vehicles. They came to prominence during the World War II, landing troops and tanks during Allied amphibious assaults including D-Day in Normandy, 1944.

Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the landing craft can be operating within minutes of arrival, using the included 2.4Ghz radio transmitter and 2s Li-Ion battery. Only four AA batteries and minimal assembly is required.
This Landing Craft is in the same 1/16 scale as our Heng Long tanks, specifically the 1/16 scale M4 Sherman. Transport and deploy your 1/16 scale Sherman tank to the beachhead! Interior tank compartment dimensions are 61cm x 21.6cm
Note: The tank seen in the gallery photos is not included.

Powerful Dual Motors Twin 390 sized brushed motors power the LCM-3 over smooth and choppy water alike. The vessel is balanced for capable stability with or without your added vehicle in its transport hold. |
Functioning Launch Door A remotely operated servo winch can lower and raise the launch ramp, just like the real LCM-3! Recreate storming the beaches of Normandy with this realistic function. |
Detailed Surfaces Textured decks and painted machine guns are just some of the scale details finished out-of-the-box. |
Detailed Cover The detailed cover conceals the vessel's drive system and 2.4Ghz receiver. Simply lift the cover to quickly change the 2s battery without any tools! |
Protected Dual Props Just like the historic vessel, this model's twin screws (propellers) are protected by the hull's shape. The vessel's shallow draft and shielded rudders make it ideal for navigating shallow water and driving onto the shoreline. |

Balanced Hull Molded from ABS, the entire model is balanced out of the box for stability in smooth and choppy water on appropriately sized RC-friendly ponds, pools, lakes, and marinas. The vessel's low displacement makes it easy to drive and maneuver. |

Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.
Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.
