About the Vehicle:
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.
About the Model:
No Airifix range is complete without a water-based vehicle to accompany it, and the
Higgins LCVP is the perfect choice for any collector! 2 choices of livery schemes and
measuring 145mm in length makes the Higgins LCVP Airfix model a number 1 choice
for modellers and military enthusiasts alike.
