That one just made my “written” stash. I was hoping they would put out the US version of the LCAC. Thanks Sean!

With all of the 1/72 armor and softskins out there, this one should have several possibilities.

Where can I find any decent LHA/LHD plans ??? This LCAC deserves a "mothership" in 1/72....After all, this was the only thing missing in 1/72 ! We have the planes, the helicopters, the LVTP´s, and everything-in-between,,,
