11bee Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Just saw this announced on another website. No pics or any other info. This is a welcome release since the Pacific War has been sadly neglected by most model companies. I might even break down and purchase one of these.... On a side, given the rivalry between these two companies, I wonder how long it will be before Dragon announces that they are also going to release one as well?

Dave Williams Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The Italeri kits aren't bad, but I'm looking forward to AFV Club doing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I will wait to see what it is going to be before getting excited as I fear it may be a re-release of the Italeri mold. Dragon did do a LVT in 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dragon did do a LVT in 1/72. PMMS has the box art on their site. I'm not an expert on the Italeri kit but this one appears to be new. It's an "early" version w/ both Pacific and European markings, PE, etc. Looks pretty nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Italeri LVT-4 http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/it/kit_it_0379.shtml I hope it is better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
