1:35 LCVP avec infanterie américaine

Italeri LCVP with US Infantry brings a landmark amphibious landing craft into 1:35 scale with the massed presence that defines a beach assault scene. The 31.4 cm hull gives the build a broad footprint for troop placement, while the LCVP form developed by Higgins Industries is paired here with U.S. Infantry figures for a focused D-Day Series subject. The full-size LCVP was designed to shuttle between larger ships and the shore, carrying personnel, light vehicles and supplies during amphibious operations in Europe and the Pacific. That role gives this model kit a clear working identity, with the open central bay, high side walls and loading layout all tied to transport duty rather than a conventional naval silhouette. The set also draws on the craft's long service history, as the LCVP remained in use after the Second World War and later saw action in Korea and Indochina. New soldier moulds add fresh tooling to the infantry contingent, and the decal sheet expands finishing options with markings for 8 versions. On the bench, the combination of landing craft and infantry supports a range of display directions, from a tightly packed embarkation scene to a shoreline approach with crew and troops distributed across the deck. The 600 minute assembly time suits a build that can be painted, marked and staged as a detailed military diorama centerpiece.
