Italeri 510006524 1:35 LCVP with US Infantry

I think this was was called a Higgins boat, used for D day landings. It's a really good kit with plenty of soldiers. They all have pretty much the same stance (standing) so had to add some runners from another kit to simulate a D day landing diorama. But good value non the less.

Great kit, nicely detailed with lots of figures. With 20+ figures this kit is very good value.

Plenty of kit for the money. You would pay more normally for jut the figures.

Nice model kit of the landing craft, the GI’s are the icing on the cake .

Great kit! 16 sprues worth of kit, 10 of those are just for figures! Lots of detail and a great build with no flaws I can see. Definetly 10/10 for this one

A very good kit

good model, really enjoyed assembling landing craft

Really wonderful kit. There are several different heads among the platoon, so with variation in painting and arms, you can get unique soldiers. If I were doing this again, I would leave off the gas mask bag, but everything else seems great. The boat itself went together easily. I would paint the life preservers a light overall tan color, having made I think the wrong decision for color. Since there are so few color images from the era, the modeler needs to do a lot of research to get the colors and weathering done right. There were variations with use and with how beaten up these boats were with use, so the modeler has a lot of options in weathering. I wound up CA gluing all the men into the boat. This was not my original choice, but it turned out to be the most practical one. I later placed the boat into a shoreline diorama instead of displaying it on the stand. The diorama approach just looks better since the boat is fully loaded with men. Also I used five of the men in a LCVP model where they are carrying the larger gear (50 cal guns/ammo and flame thrower). This helps to see all the work put into painting and detailing the individual figures, and also get everyone to fit well into the boat.

Rien a dire ça me plaît
