Yes, but someone who had both told me the old Lindberg one was superior. Don't know if that is true or not but I do value that person's opinion though.

Italeri too: 6436 LCM 3 - 50' Landing Craft

would that be the one that would carry the troops in, similar to the beginning of Pvt. Ryan? That's the boat I'm looking for.

I think you're looking for a LCVP.

The LCM3 (Landing Craft Mechanized) was actually designed to land tanks ashore. They were used by both the American and the British in Europe and by the Americans in the Pacific. While designed for landing tanks they also carried troops (and could hold up to 60 if I recall correctly). It was actually 2 LCM3's that were used as landing craft in Saving Private Ryan. I have a Trumpeter kit and it looks very nice in the box. The Perth Modelers web site has a nice in box review with shots of the sprues.
