Are there any landing crafts available in either 1/35,1/48 or 1/72 scale? I really like to buy the LCPV but don't know if any manufacturer sells it.

Accurate Armour do a 1/35 landing craft, can't remember which one but it's about 2 metres long! There was one at Telford IPMS last november. I have pictures of it if your interested? Mind you, you'd probably have to sell your family to afford it! Lol

Airfix used to do a 1/72 scale landing craft, with sherman tank. They occasionally crop up on eBay.

Airfix had a 1/72 LVTP-4 Buffalo way back when, that you might be able to find still

I think for the money you should go with the Lindberg version. Requires modification work and is a wee bit large for 35th, but compared to the others, it is a bargain. Don't know about small scale stuff
