General Product Description

Our ReplicaHangar LSM-141 Landing Craft D Day Model exhibits unique, unrivaled quality and detailed design to come as close as possible to the accuracy of the actual military vehicle. It comes as standard with a robust, durable base or stand which is available in a variety of different finishes designed to match your own personal requirements including solid wood or wood with polished metal supports and will be ready within about 9-10 weeks from placement of order.

The LSM-141 Landing Craft D Day Model is made of the finest kiln dried renewable mahogany wood (commonly known as Lauan or Meranti) which has undergone many stages of carving and meticulous and careful sanding giving the beautiful finished museum quality masterpiece. Many collectors and model connoisseurs demonstrate their preference for genuine handmade and hand painted mahogany wood models rather than plastic or die cast (diecast) alternatives due to the overall look and totally different feel of the item - we trust you will find the same. We can however, if required produce the same model in Solid Cast Resin so just click and contact us for further information. Our craftsmen and gifted artisans ensure that our finely handcrafted model airplanes match the precise blueprint details of the original tank or armored vehicle. The paint scheme, markings and parts are closely matched, reflecting the original aircraft. This stylish top-quality desktop replica model will surely enthrall anyone who receives this as a gift and for sure one of the most appropriate and desirably collectable gifts for any military model enthusiast and avid tank model collector whilst also displaying a perfect resemblance to the actual vehicle.
