Product: 1:35 LCM 3 (Landing craft mechanized)
The Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM) is arguably the most famous landing
craft in history, its profile intimately linked to Allied amphibious
operations in World War II, from Anzio to the beaches of Normandy.The
LCM-3 variant is certainly one of the most successful and effectively
employed. The design was simple and straightforward yet extremely rational. The large front loading ramp allowed for the rapid
disembarkation of a fully armed infantry squad as well as a 30-ton
medium Sherman tank. The armor was very light, protecting the diesel
engine, which enabled the LCM to reach a maximum speed of 8 knots, and
the crew required for navigation and close defense, consisting of four
men. However, significant was its loading capacity and operational
flexibility, which allowed the LCM-3 to carve out an important place in 20th-century military history.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
