Why this kit matters
The US Navy's LST (Landing Ship, Tank) played a crucial role in World War II, facilitating amphibious landings across the Pacific and European theaters. These ships were designed to carry and deploy tanks, vehicles, and troops directly onto enemy shores. The Type 2 LST1 class was instrumental in numerous key operations, providing essential logistical support and contributing significantly to Allied victories. Their ability to navigate shallow waters and deliver heavy equipment made them indispensable assets.
This conversion kit allows modellers to enhance their existing LST model with an impressive level of detail. By adding photo-etched parts, the model gains a more realistic and intricate appearance, capturing the true essence of these historic vessels. It's a fantastic way to pay tribute to the sailors and ships that played a vital role in naval history.
How to use it
This is a conversion kit designed for experienced modellers. It requires careful assembly and the use of super glue to attach the photo-etched parts to your existing 1/350 scale LST model. Painting is essential to blend the new parts seamlessly with the base kit. Use reference photos to ensure accuracy and achieve a realistic finish. Patience and precision are key to creating a stunningly detailed replica.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
