Hi all,

I'm trying to draw a list for a friend of all the models of WWII allied landing craft in the 1/48 and 1/35 scales.

Even if I am a noob in this field, I am already aware of some Italeri models. Is there anybody here aware of others ?
TIA

Ahoy Olivier,

HobbyBoss makes the LCM - 3 in 1:48 scale.

Cheers,
Joe

Hello Oliver. Lindbergh had a LCVP in 1/32nd, and a LCI & a LST in 'box scale'. Monogram/Revell had a LCP(R) with a UDT team in 1/32. Trumpeter and Italeri both have the LCM in 1/35, Italeri also has the LCVP in 1/35. Someone had a British landing craft, but I don't remember who or which one it was. I think it was a French company, Fonderie-??. Airfix had a LCM in 1/72 as does Dragon. I hope this helps. Al

Thanks Tracy.
The list is growing longer and longer. I hope my friend's wallet is large enough!
