Model Kit

Enhance your World War II naval collection with this highly detailed 1/350 scale model of the U.S. Navys Type 2 LST-491 class Landing Ship, Tank, one of the most important amphibious vessels of the Allied war effort. Designed to deliver tanks, trucks, troops, and supplies directly onto contested beaches, the LST-491 class introduced an internal ramp system that significantly sped up the movement of vehicles between decks, improving combat efficiency during amphibious assaults.

These ships played vital roles in operations from Normandy to the Pacific island campaigns, where their ability to beach themselves made them indispensable. AFV Clubs finely engineered kit features newly tooled bow and foredeck components, optional open or closed bow doors and cargo ramp, three bridge configurations, positionable anti-aircraft armament, photo-etched details, and decals for six different vessels.
