Great news, I would have preferred it in 1/72 scale, but great news still.

Very interesting. When I first saw this I was thinking of the much larger LCT, I guess the (4) that the article mentions. I figured this would be a HUGE kit. It's still big, but not in the same class as one of those big ones would be.
Isn't it great the way newer landing craft kits are coming out?
Sabot, if it's successful I wouldn't be surprise to see it come out in 1/72 as well.

Not being Braille builder is 1/76 that popular? I thought 1/72 was much more popular. Will the scale make a difference at that size?
