Hi guys, I recently discovered a family connection relating to the 3 LST mk2s that were converted by the RN into 'fighter direction tenders' for use off the Normandy beaches. They were modified to carry AMES 11 and 15 radar sets and sufficient radios and their antenna to control the fighter cover. I have found a few pictures like this

I'm after a bit more technical construction detail. I'm trying to model one on a 1:250 lindberg LST model. Can anyone help?

Cheers
