This release came from Trumpeter a few years ago to accompany
their 1/35 LCM Landing Craft kit. If you count the number of legs
and divide by two, this set comes with six figures. There are actually
three unique figures on two duplicate parts trees. The crew is
dressed in their cold weather/water protective gear.
The parts are molded in gray styrene and as you can see in the
photos, aren't complex to assembly, but are modular enough to mix
and match parts to render different poses.
Conclusion
I picked up a set of these to see if they could be adapted for
my 1/35 Italeri PT-596
project. While they are dressed for the
cold, they may be adaptable or at least parts of these figures
(helmets and life vests) could be used in the project. We shall
see.
Nevertheless, these are still available and will work well with
your LCM as-designed.
Definitely recommended!
