Italeri 1/35 Lcvp US Infantry Model Kit

The LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) — the Higgins Boat — was the vessel that made D-Day possible. Eisenhower called Andrew Higgins "the man who won the war for us" for designing this revolutionary landing craft that could carry 36 troops or a jeep onto any beach. On June 6, 1944, thousands of LCVPs delivered the first assault waves onto Normandy's beaches under withering fire. This 1/35 Italeri kit includes the landing craft with a complement of US infantry figures storming ashore.
