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.

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. |

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.
