Model Kit

Recreate one of the U.S. Navys most important amphibious vessels with this highly detailed 1/350 scale model of the Type 2 LST-1 class Landing Ship, Tank. Developed during World War II to carry tanks, trucks, artillery, and troops directly onto hostile beaches, the LST-1 class became the backbone of Allied amphibious operations. More than 1,000 of these versatile ships were built, serving in every major theater of the war, including the invasions of Sicily, Normandy, and countless Pacific island campaigns.

Their unique bow doors and retractable ramp allowed heavy armored vehicles to be unloaded directly onto shore, making them indispensable to the success of amphibious assaults. AFV Clubs finely engineered kit faithfully captures the distinctive appearance of these iconic landing ships with crisp surface detail, accurately reproduced fittings, optional configuration choices, and photo-etched enhancements, making it an outstanding centerpiece for any 1/350 scale World War II naval collection or amphibious assault diorama.
