This year marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, followed by the Battle of Normandy. Among the seven thousand craft was the Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel (LCVP) also known as the Higgings boat. Boat builder and businessman Andrew Higgins designed the craft in the 1930s. An LCVP could land about 36 troops. Because the vessel was largely made of wood, it could be produced in large quantities.
"Andrew Higgins is the man who won the war for us.If Higgins had not designed and built those LCVPs, we never could have landed over an open beach. The whole strategy of the war would have been different."
General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The construction kits of the LCVP are available as a full hull or waterline model in 1:87 scale.
