LST LANDING AMPHIBIOUS SHIP 

Compare this LST model to similar ones made by other builders to see the reason model enthusiasts and collectors have recognized us a clear leader in warships. Nobody else has produced a model that the ramp can be moved to different positions to reveal how the tanks come out from under the deck. No one else could offer tanks onboard the model. If you want the best possible ship that will stay with you for many years and become a heirloom, let us know of your interest here: commissioning.  

Newport-class tank landing ships  LST were employed by the United States Navy from 1969 to 2002. Because of the demand of the amphibious forces for higher speed that the traditional bow door form for LSTs would not be capable to deliver, the designers of the Newport class came up with a design of a traditional ship hull with a 112-foot aluminum ramp slung over the bow supported by two derrick arms. The new design allowed the larger ships run faster than any previous LST design, surpassing 20 knots.

The vessels were equipped with a stern gate to allow the unloading of amphibious vehicles directly into the water or to unload onto a utility landing craft or pier. At either end of the tank deck there is a 30 ft turntable that permits vehicles to turn around without having to reverse.

The Newport class has the capacity for 500 long tons of vehicles, 19,000 sq. ft. of cargo area and could carry up to 431 troops. 



This model is 32" long when the ramp is extended, and 3o" when the ramp is towed. The total height is 11" and total width 6" (including the base's dimensions.)

$2,990. 10 tanks are included. Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $350 flat rate.

Model is built per commission only. We require only a small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start the process $500   The remaining balance won't be due until the model is completed, in less than 5 months.
