The AFV Club 1:350 US NAVY TYPE 2 LSTS LST-491 - CLASS LANDING SHIP TANK model kit allows you to build a precise replica of the legendary LST (Landing Ship Tank) class landing ship in 1/350 scale. The model depicts an LST-491 type unit, crucial for amphibious operations during World War II.
This plastic model kit, offered by AFV Club, provides high-quality components necessary to create a detailed model of the LST-491 ship. The 1/350 scale allows for a high level of detail while enabling the model to be displayed in most collections. This is an ideal choice for modelers interested in naval history and amphibious vehicles.
The primary purpose of this product is for hobby static model building. The completed model can be an element of historical warship collections, naval dioramas depicting World War II amphibious operations, or as a standalone display showcasing a typical US Navy landing ship.
The AFV Club 1:350 LST-491 kit includes all necessary components to build the basic structure of the model:
Assembling the model requires precise cutting of parts from the sprues, fitting them, and gluing them together according to the included assembly guide. After assembly is complete, the model requires painting with model paints and applying the decals. Please note that some details may need to be painted before the final joining of components.
The following tools and materials are necessary to build the model (kit does NOT include paints and glue):
The kit does not include paints, however, for a faithful reproduction of the US Navy LST-491 landing ship, it is recommended to use paints in standard US Navy camouflage schemes from the World War II era. Commonly used colors include:
Detailed painting schemes and assigned paint colors recommended by the manufacturer can be found in the instruction manual included with the kit.
The AFV Club 1:350 US NAVY TYPE 2 LSTS LST-491 model is compatible with a wide range of 1/350 scale modeling accessories, such as sailor figures, miniature landing vehicles (e.g., Jeeps, trucks), photo-etched parts (adding incredibly fine details like railings or radars), and upgrade sets. It can also be combined with other ship models or shoreline elements in the same scale to create extensive dioramas.
