AFV Club AG35050 Photo-Etched Conversion Kit for US Navy Type 2 LSTs LST-1 Class Landing Ship 1/350

The AFV Club AG35050 set is a professional collection of photo-etched elements dedicated to models of LST-1 Class landing ships (Landing Ship, Tank) used by the United States Navy (US Navy) in 1/350 scale. The product has been developed by the renowned manufacturer AFV Club for discerning modelers who value the highest level of detail and realism in recreating historic naval vessels.

The LST-1 Class is one of the most important families of landing ships of World War II, widely used during the largest naval campaigns such as the Normandy landings (D-Day) or operations in the Pacific (island landings). These ships, produced by the USA between 1942–1945, were crucial for transporting equipment, tanks, and soldiers directly onto combat beaches, changing the face of maritime warfare.

The AFV Club AG35050 photo-etched set is designed for assembly with standard plastic models of LST-1 ships in 1/350 scale. The elements have been precisely etched from high-quality metal (brass), which ensures exceptional detail and authenticity even in the smallest features, such as railings, ladders, stairs, windlasses, or radar antennas. By replacing standard plastic model parts with photo-etched details, you significantly elevate the quality of your replica’s finish, giving it contest or museum-grade characteristics.
