Does anyone know of a model for a US LPH or LPD? While my dad was in the navy he served on board the Tripoli and the Juno (sp) and I would like to build one of these ships for him.

I am looking for a LPD kit myself. I did receive a post from Buck in regards to a LPD kit, 1/700 scale USS Raleigh, that was available from Jim Shirley Productions. However I haven't been able to track one down yet. If you hear of anything I would appreciate any info. Good luck with your search.
