I am trying to find out where can I get a hold of these kits in 1:35 scale.
LSSC Light SEAL Support Craft ( supposed to be by Dragon )
PACV Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle
STAB SEAL team Assault Boat ( supposed to be by Monogram )
I would really like to find a 1:35 scale version of Trumpteer's 1:144 scale kit of a USMC Landing Craft / Air Cushion ( LCAC ), ie a hoovercraft.
Can anyone help me find all, some , or any?

Yes dragon did do an LSSC
PACV no kit currently. (Rumors in resin)
The Monogram is a UDT team go for $$$ on Ebay

VLS is supposed to do a resin PACV:

as far as I know there's no kit of a STAB and indeed Dragon did a LSSC (nice kit) which is (I believe) OOP but shouldn't be too hard to find (there's also a 1/72 LSSC bij Calibre)
HTH
bet regards

I got a brand new LSSC very recently from an e-bay trader. I believe it's still in production in the far east - he had several for sale but has none at the moment. Will dig out the receipt from home later and give you his details...

Yes, no kit of the STAB has been produced. The Monogram kit is a landing craft with a raft attached for UDT drop off and pick up. Nice kit actually if you can find it. The only 1/35 scale scuba figures that I am aware of.

With a little searching you should be able to find the Dragon kit. I found these links http://www.elitegrp.com.lb/shop/Dragon.htm[/url ] [url]http://www.redfroghobbies.com/dragon.htm but don't know anything about either site. It's discontinued, but they will be out there. With a bit of patience you should need to pay ridiculous prices.
The PACV is not currently available, but might be as someone already posted. Only one I've seen is a 20mm kit or scratchbuilt.
Someone referred to a UDT team. There is one by Revell http://www.schnellboot.net/us/udt/revell35/index.html The Monogram STAB is very hard to find (I couldn't even find a photo.
A 1/35 LCAC would be a pretty good sized model. http://web.nps.navy.mil/~brutzman/Savage/AmphibiousVehicles/LCAC/lcac-kb97_8.jpg In scale that would be nearly 2 feet 6 inches long and 1 feet 4 inches wide. I'd be happy with one in 1/72 scale to go with some of the modern armor that's available. I've been researching to potentially scratchbuild one, but plan to tackle a 1/72 PACV first.
