About the LCM(3) landing craft:
The Landing Craft, Mechanized (mark 3) was designed to land one medium (30 ton) tank, or motor vehicles directly on the beach. This vehicle was used extensively in WW2 and was critical in many operations.

The Toy Federation and Forces of Valor take us to the North African desert with the 1:32 scale Grant, if you pony up the $32.00.
Forces of Valor 1:32 Scale U.K. M3 Grant - El Alamein.
The M3 Grant was a United States tank design that was modified for the British Army. The British Government had sought a complete British design, but had to accept a modified U.S. designed Tank. The British Army did not like the high profile of the standard U.S. turret, so they offered a lower profile turret with more crew space that would fit within the same turret ring.
Please note that all forces of valor which we sell are the “Enthusiast” grade, not the basic “action” grade available at mass market stores.

When looking for an early 2003 Corgi release, you may find yourself off the beaten path. That is certainly the case for our 1:72 scale F4U-1D Corsair, White 167, 57803. Lt. CDR. Roger R. Hendrick, VF-84, USS Bunker Hill, Feb 1945, which we found at The Ancient Mariner for only $26.00.
Hedrick commanded VF-84 until he assumed command of the Air Group following the death of the previous commander. In this aircraft, he destroyed 2 Franks and a Zero on Feb 24th 1945, bring his final score to 12 aircraft destroyed and 4 damaged. This model is as it appeared at the time. Scale: 1/72, Wingspan: 6.75"
