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.

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??
