This British designed and built LCA actually made up the bulk of the landing craft used to put infantry on the beaches on D. Day itself. All of the British and Canadians used these little craft as well as some of the American forces. Did you know that the US Rangers landing at Pointe du Hoc were ferried in by British LCA’s manned by Royal Navy crews?
This polystone and metal craft comes in typical two-tone British naval camouflage and is crewed by two Royal Navy matelots—one Cox’n and one Bren Gunner.
Dimensions are: Length 16.5” (42cm) width 4.5” (11.75cm)
The original version was released in June 2009. The 1st batch of production sold out quickly, so they reproduced it using a different identification number. The original identification number was 718.
Please note only one landing craft and crew is included. No other figures are included
