D-Day Landing Scene Kit - Italeri 6524 - 1/35 WWII LCVP with U.S. Infantry Model Kit  [IT-6524S]

Summary of the Italeri 6524 1/35 LCVP model

The Italeri 1/35 LCVP model recreates the wartime landing craft produced by Higgins Industries that featured in Allied amphibious operations. Intended as part of Italeri's D-Day themed releases, the kit focuses on authentic proportions and period detail for historically accurate modelling.

Historical role and kit fidelity

The so-called Higgins boat was essential for moving troops and light equipment from ship to shore, with capacity for roughly thirty personnel or small vehicles. This model captures characteristic elements such as the bow ramp, rear machine gun positions and the option to depict petrol or diesel engine variants.

What builders can expect

Targeted at modellers who appreciate detailed builds, the kit features new moulds and comes with one landing craft, three crew figures and twenty-five multipose U.S. infantry figures, allowing creative posing and realistic beach landing dioramas. Final presentation benefits from careful painting and weathering.
