The Airfix Higgins LCVP Model Kit will make a great addition to any model collection. The Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel (LCVP) or Higgins Boat was one of the most vital pieces of Allied naval equipment of the Second World War. Used not only during Operation Overlord and the invasion of occupied France, but also throughout American naval operations in the Pacific, proving to be particularly useful during the operations at Okinawa and Iwo Jima. With a shallow draught and full-width bow ramp it was able to offload its cargo and leave the beach in just 3 to 4 minutes. With two choices of livery schemes and measuring 145mm in length, the Higgins LCVP Airfix model is a wonderful choice for modellers and military enthusiasts alike.Length: 145mm 47 partsScale: 1:72Skill level: 2 Includes sprues and decalsPaint and glue not includedPerfect for any model collection Airfix Higgins LCVP Model Kit 1:72
