Product: 1:72 LCM(3)+M4A1 Sherman w/DeepWadingKit
The massively scaled amphibious landings of D-Day occurred on 6 June
1944. The enormous seaborne invasion involved the greatest armada ever
assembled, including a staggering 6,939 Allied naval vessels! This total
included 4,126 specialized landing ships/landing craft. One of the most
common ways of getting troops and vehicles from ship to shore was the
LCM(3) landing craft, also known as a "Higgins" boat. The flat-bottomed
vessel with a bow ramp was capable of carrying a single M4 Sherman tank or 60 soldiers.
Dragon’s fantastic new 1/72 scale kit depicts just such a landing craft
plus a highly accurate and fully detailed M4A1 tank kit. The Sherman
tank has been readied for the invasion by having deep-water wading
stacks added. All the components needed to create an impressive beach
landing diorama are all provided in the box. Indeed, you can just about
hear the tank clanking down the steel ramp of the landing craft and
splashing into the surf! This comprehensive set brings D-Day to life.
