The massively scaled amphibious landings of D-Day occurred on 6 June1944. The enormous seaborne invasion involved the greatest armada everassembled, including a staggering 6,939 Allied naval vessels! This totalincluded 4,126 specialized landing ships/landing craft. One of the mostcommon ways of getting troops and vehicles from ship to shore was theLCM(3) landing craft, also known as a "Higgins" boat. The flat-bottomedvessel with a bow ramp was capable of carrying a single M4 Sherman tank or 60 soldiers.


Dragon’s fantastic new 1/72 scale kit depicts just such a landing craftplus a highly accurate and fully detailed M4A1 tank kit. The Shermantank has been readied for the invasion by having deep-water wadingstacks added. All the components needed to create an impressive beachlanding diorama are all provided in the box. Indeed, you can just abouthear the tank clanking down the steel ramp of the landing craft andsplashing into the surf! This comprehensive set brings D-Day to life.
