This kit, intended for self-assembly, depicts a British landing craft used during World War II—one of the most iconic Allied landing units.

The Landing Craft Assault (LCA) was a British vessel that played a key role in amphibious operations, particularly during the famous Normandy landings (D-Day) on June 6, 1944, Operation Torch in North Africa, and the landings in Sicily. Designed in the United Kingdom, it was widely used by the Royal Navy and Allied forces, enabling efficient transport of soldiers directly onto beaches under heavy enemy fire. Its period of service spanned World War II, mainly from 1940 to 1945.

The model in 1:35 scale offers detail and realism that will meet the expectations of even the most advanced military modelers. Made from high-quality plastic, it features precisely reproduced structural details of the original boat. The kit allows you to assemble a complete LCA with characteristic deck elements, hull, crew compartment, as well as armament and equipment.
