Very interesting release, and in 1/72!
I can visualize many interesting dio scenes using this as a base kit...thanks for the News, Gator!

Very nice kit.

This can help all of us people wanting to wean ourselves off of armor by combing the two into one.

Dragon will have this one out in time for the Gator Campaign as well.

Interesting, also good for newbies like me who have no clue how to "dio" anything, like a starter set... another one for my list!

If the LCM(3) is a re-pop of their previous kit, the hull is basically waterline. So no cutting. Hopefully they cast the crew in styrene this time as opposed to the soft plastic that they did last time. I'm glad they phased that out.
