The front ramp realistically lowers and raises via a cable mechanism – perfect for dynamic landing scenes and an authentic display.
The model offers a full hull with rudder, engine bay cover, and a pair of machine guns with armored shields. Durable prints ensure a lasting look.
Includes an elegant stand with the name “LCVP Higgins Boat” and two figures – a U.S. infantryman and a sailor – for an impressive presentation.
A special edition prepared for the 80th anniversary of D-Day transports you to key moments of World War II. The model of the legendary LCVP, also known as the Higgins boat, faithfully captures the shapes and details of the real landing craft in the popular 1:35 scale. Thanks to durable prints, functional features, and solid construction, it’s ideal for display and play.
The boat measures approximately 36 cm in length and comes well equipped: a front ramp with cable mechanism, two machine guns with protection, and a detailed rudder, drive, and engine bay cover. The two figures – a U.S. infantryman and a sailor – are complemented by a double-sided printed USA flag and an elegant stand labeled “LCVP Higgins Boat”.
The LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) designed by Andrew Higgins was widely used in operations D-Day, Torch, Husky, Shingle, and Avalanche, as well as in battles in the Pacific. The COBI building set is fully compatible with other brick brands, meets safety standards, and comes with a clear instruction manual.
