Thanks for sharing Gator, I had heard that this was coming out but had not seen anything till now.
I will have to add this and have it next to my Airfix SRN4 hovercraft.

Ciao

Thanks for the look. Amphibious operations sure have come a long way. That skirt looks pretty good, I wonder what material it’s made from.

1/144.... closer to my eye scale.
I guess that's why they were pumping out 1/144 scale vehicles.

Do they have a 1:144 LAV? That would be cool.

What a welcome addition to kits. It would be cool to get some 144 scale armor (I'm sure there is some) to put on this kit.
