AFV Club SE73518 U.S NAVY LCT Mk. 6-501 class (1943-1945) 1/350 – Plastic Model Kit

AFV Club SE73518 U.S NAVY LCT Mk. 6-501 class is a unique plastic model kit representing the American landing craft of the LCT Mk.6 class from World War II. The model is made in 1/350 scale, allowing for a faithful reproduction of the unit's details, while remaining compact enough to meet the expectations of both beginner and more experienced modelers.

LCT (Landing Craft, Tank) Mk.6-501 class ships were used by the United States Navy during World War II, primarily between 1943 and 1945. These vessels have earned their place in history, taking part in, among others, Operation Overlord – the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944. The LCT Mk.6 enabled the rapid transport of tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks directly onto unprepared shores, breaking through the first lines of resistance.

The AFV Club SE73518 set contains high-quality parts made from durable plastic, allowing you to assemble a realistic and historically accurate model. The kit can be enhanced with additional photo-etched metal parts (if provided by the manufacturer; we recommend checking your chosen version of the kit), which increases the collectible value and level of detail. Inside the box you'll find sprues with parts, assembly instructions, and decals for original U.S. Navy units from 1943-1945.
