Beach Assault Diorama Kit - Italeri 6524 - 1/35 WWII LCVP with U.S. Infantry Model Kit  [IT-6524S]

Overview of the Italeri 6524 LCVP 1/35 Kit

This 1/35 scale LCVP model from Italeri recreates the classic landing craft used in World War II. Originating from Higgins Industries, the craft saw widespread service in amphibious operations across Europe and the Pacific. This kit is part of Italeri's D-Day themed releases, intended for modellers who want an accurate slice of 1944 history.

Why the LCVP Matters and How Accurate it Is

The LCVP, often called the Higgins boat, was central to moving troops and light equipment from ships to shore. It could carry roughly thirty soldiers or small vehicles and featured practical design elements for rapid offloading. The model reflects those key features, with options to show rear-mounted machine guns and to represent either petrol or diesel powerplants.

Building Scope and Display Potential

The kit targets hobbyists who value detail and authenticity. With new tooling, the box contains one landing craft, three crew figures and twenty-five multipose U.S. infantry figures, enabling varied diorama scenes. When assembled and painted, the finished model offers a strong historical display piece for a collection or table-top exhibition.
