Amphibious Warfare Vessels in 1/400

[Diderick A. den Bakker]

Just to put things right: I run a website which many of you will know, zeistbouwplaten.nl. I use that name for a series of architectural models, most of them early 20th century 'The Style'. I use the more international name Paper Trade for my second series - now ca. 45 items. The 'Johan de Witt' was my only venture into military shipping. And yes, it was designed for me by JSC.
While on the subject of amphibious warfare: I recently came across a very interesting series of models of Operation Sea Lion, Hitler's plan to invade Britain by crossing the Channel and the North Sea with converted river barges and bailey bridge type floats. See my site, page Shipping >Navy >KMW2.

Thank you Diderick:
I applaud your decision to commission and release the 'Johan de Witt'.
Also realy interesting the very elusive KMW2 models!!! Quite unique, and surprising to see how many landing and support craft Germany developed during WWII. And if I am not wrong, very influential in soviet design during the early cold war.

Dear JSC Clan:

Not to mention your own design of German landing craft (F866) and the artillery support craft (AF85) and (for those lucky ones that have the first edition of the Wilhelm Gustloff) kubelwagens, Opel trucks ,and panzers I, II, and IV.

Are you planning to re-release them? or the Panther, Jagdpanther or Tiger I in 1/250, that used to be in the today defunct Moduni (what happen to them?)?

Here are some samples of these models with a few expansions fond in cyberspace.

Happy designing and modeling,

Pablo

Hello Pablo,

I put all your requests in our special "request book", and I definitely consider those projects. Thank you.

Thank you very much, looking forward for your next release in 1/400. The last one was super nice!!!

This is from a Japanese website from some time ago, that I lost.
It is a 1-Go class. I just added a few wires and the scratch vehicles.

These are familiar and not so familiar landing ships, a Japanese No.101/103 and a LSM. Both from scratch, pre-papermodelers, when I was addicted to pl@$+1c.

Yes Herky, that looks a lot better than mine. But as I said those were build before my time here, although it is in my shopping list. Have you build it?

By the way, other Barry design worth is his LHA-1, which also qualifies for your Aircraft Carrier list:
