| Details:
This
model represents the US Navy version of the largest
of the personnel carriers, carrying 180 troops and a
crew of 24 (3 Officers and 21 Other Ranks). Later vessels
could carry 210 fully equiped troops. The American versions
favoured the higher built Fo'c'sle (although some US
vessels did have the lower type) along with some other
minor variations.
In
service from 1943, they saw action on every amphibious
Allied landing from then until the Korean War.
This
is a superb waterline model built by master model maker
Dan Taylor measuring 650mm in length. Our kit comes
with a comprehensive instruction booklet with painting
illustrations in colour, a sheet of Brass Frets that
includes gun shields, gun sights, etc., Brass Rod and
a full set of optional decals.
We
also produce a Bridge crew;FIG91, Oerlikon Gun crew
(2sets); FIG92 as well as troop sets FIG47, FIG67 (Army)
and Fig68 (Marines) that compliment this model.
