Found this at an auction, great UDT team set. It has divers the LCP and raft made in 1959. It's off to be listed but wanted to share it first.

I remember that this model came out around when the 1951 movie Frogmen came out on TV. I bugged my Dad to buy it for me and since I had just gotten a little sister, I didn't get it. It is funny what a 9-year old remembers.

I've built this model several times. Loved it. It has been re-issued several times. It lends itself to many diorama possibilities as it can be easily used as an LCP® for beach landing

I built this kit in the early 1960's, the neat thing about that era's kits was the plastic parts were colored in the appropriate paint scheme. I wasn't allowed to use spray paint and my brush painting skills weren't very good. Revell's recent re-pop of the kit has a monotone paint (gray), but these days I'm "allowed" to air brush! And yes, it recalls great memories of childhood, glue smears and all...
