Yes, the LSD (Landing Ship Dock) was a Lindberg, not a Monogram, but
it was by no means crude. Very good model indeed.
They also made a US LST in 1/250 which with a bit ( OK a lot) of
converting
is just right for a 1/290 scale British LST of the same vintage. Also a
good
kit.
In case you hadn't gathered, I have about as complete a collection of
large amphibious warfare vessels (destroyers, LSTs etc) in 1/285 or
thereabouts
as I think has been produced by anyone. They're VERY difficult to get.
