The LSM-1 / LSM (R) class was a US Navy landing ship class built in two basic types and variants . The basic type LSM (Landing Ship Medium) was a medium landing ship for troops and vehicles. The ships of the basic type LSM (R) (Landing Ship Medium (Rocket)) were landing support ships, which were equipped with rocket launchers and partly with artillery for the bombardment of landing beaches

Within the amphibious forces of the US Navy, the LSM represented a medium-sized ship between the smaller armored landing craft ( Landing Craft, Tank / LCT) and the larger armored landing craft (Landing Ship, Tank / LST). Initially, the LSM was also called LCT (7 ) (Landing Craft Tank, type 7), before the new classification "LSM" was introduced

The Revell Eidechse-Class LSM in 1:144 scale packs a great deal of detail, from the individual armour pieces to the LSM ship itself, to the Sycamore Helicopter!
