| CONCLUSIONS | ||||||||
This is the first time I have seen correct early war landing craft offered in 1/700 scale. Now at last you can do an accurate Guadalcanal Diorama or properly outfit your early APD's and Troop ships. This is kit 1/700 LCP(L) Early US Navy Landing Personnel (Large) - (x4) for $18.99 US. Check this set and others on Tom's Modelworks website with secure online ordering. |
