Does anone know if a company makes a 1/350 LSD (Landing Ship Dock) Anchorage class.  JAG makes one in 1/700 but was hoping for something a little larger.

No, not at this time in 1:350 scale.  I have not heard of any of the plastic or resin companies working on one. 

Iron Shipwright makes a GUAM in resin and brass in 1:350 scale

Academy is working on a WASP-class LHD.   I saw the test shots at the IPMS Nats and was impressed with the work.   Expect it to be available in about 6 months ( and expect the cost to be in the 200 dollar range).    One-piece full hull with welldeck and hangar deck.   The test shot didn't have the flight deck cemented so that the various decks could be displayed.  It will come with a full ait wing and a couple of LCACs.

It may have plastic railings a'la the Perry which will need to be replaced with some PE.   It looks good and will be a good addition to begin filling the Gator-freighter niche.
