1/144 USMC Landing Craft/Air Cushion (LCAC) - TRUMPETER MODELS





TRUMPETER MODELS
PLASTIC MODEL KITS ALL NEW TOOLING!
APPROXIMATE ARRIVAL: AUGUST 2007
#107 1/144 USMC Landing Craft/Air Cushion (LCAC) SRP $35.95
First of its kind in plastic kit form! The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a high-speed, over-the-beach fully amphibious landing craft capable of carrying a 60-75 ton payload. Capable of operating from ship decks, it is used to transport weapons systems, equipment, cargo and personnel from ship to shore and across the beach. The advantages of air-cushion landing craft
are numerous. They can carry heavy payloads, such as an M-1 tank, at high speeds. Their payload and speed mean more forces reach the shore in a shorter time, with shorter intervals between trips.
Kit consists of 238 parts on 6 sprues, plus photo etched
nets and sweeper.

Completed kit measures over 7” long.
.
(Bar code: 9580208001074)
.
I wonder if like other "Trumpeter Kits" we will also see a "completed" version of this kit for sale ?? - Remember the LCT ? Remember the Gerat Morser??

1/144 Can.Do Series 18 -

Tiger 1 Prototypes and Early Production.
.
OUT: 05/2007
.
Some thought it was a joke, but it is true!

.
the next Can.do series are Tiger 1 early models.
.
I know some will howl and wail, but I like them!
.
There is even a "proper special" - the special is a prototype version of the Tiger 1 previously only seen in a Rare Resing Kits in Japane (oh and wartime germany!)
.
There are also one or two other early workings and varients of the Tiger, these are demonstrated by The Side panel, as well as the front and rear sections, plus Turret Deviations!
.
I know I will put an order in!!!!
.
Also I hope there will be a set of Dragon PanzerKorp Kits .
