JAG is the only choice, except for the one by ISW

It is 1:350 scale, resin & brass.  It is a very nice kit.  I have one in ths stash

It includes deck cargo.

The decals cover the entire class, plus numbers and names to make the Royal Australian Navy's LSTs

That's good.  I was curious about what scale I might be dealing with.  The ship was over 500ft long so I expected 700.  Thank you for the tip.

JAG Collective makes a 1:700 scale resin & brass kit of the Newport class.

JAG makes some excellent kits.  Among their specialties is the Gator Navy.  They include hull numbers and names for most, if not all the class

I'm wondering if there is a kit available of a Newport Class LST.  My father served on the Fairfax County in the 70's so I was thinking about making him a little tribute.
