Hello, thanks to everyone who has answered my questions in the past.
I seen someone aske about the uss guam lph-9, I was station aboard the uss iwo jima lph-2 from
late 1983- may 1987. I looking for model of her , I know commander make’s one at 400.00 dollars.
I remember pitroad was comming out with one but can’t remember scale or year. any help, suggestions. thanks
Other than that very tempting, and way over my budget 1:350 Guam, there is a Waveline Resin release of the Iwo Jima which would be all that is out there at present. Aurora did a Guadalcanal in 1:400 or 1:600 I forget, but the review (if you could find the kit) said at best it demonstrated the size and general shape of an LPH.
I’m half tempted to tell all my family I want the $495.00 Guam model for Xmas and could they just please give me cash for then… I can’t see buying that with my own money unless I won the lottery or something… [;)]
Waveline makes a 1/700 resin kit of both the USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2) and USS Okinawa (LPH-3). The comments I’ve read have been very positive, but they also said you should have considerable experience working with resin. Pacific Front Hobbies shows both in stock with price of $75.
Hope this helps.
