Italeri 1/35 LCM-3 Landing Craft Model Kit

The LCM-3 (Landing Craft, Mechanized) was the standard Allied vehicle-carrying landing craft of World War II, capable of delivering a single Sherman tank or 60 tons of cargo directly onto the beach. Thousands participated in every major amphibious operation from North Africa through Normandy and the Pacific island campaigns. The steel-hulled LCM-3 featured a bow ramp that dropped to discharge its cargo under fire. Italeri's 1/35 kit includes the detailed hull interior, engine compartment, and operational bow ramp.
