Hobby Boss HB-84817 1/48 USN LCM 3 Landing Craft Kit  [HB-84817]

Historic USN LCM 3 Recreated in 1/48 Scale

The Hobby Boss HB-84817 model kit recreates the USN LCM 3, a key landing craft of World War II. This 1/48 scale kit highlights the craft used in operations from the European landings to Pacific amphibious assaults, offering accurate lines and period detail for hobbyists aiming for authenticity.

The original LCM 3 was designed to move heavier armoured vehicles, featuring a lengthened hull and improved buoyancy to carry up to 30 tons or roughly 60 troops. This kit mirrors those proportions and includes parts representing the perforated bow ramp and machine gun positions so builders can study and display engineering details from the era.
