Higgins Boat - Sarissa Precision

 Here is another impulse purchase from a few months back, the LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel), aka the Higgins Boat, by Sarissa Precision.  The Higgins Boat was a landing craft developed in the USA and was widely used by all allied forces.  I've painted this one slightly inaccurately, as mine is inspired by the similar LCA (Landing Craft Assault) used by the Royal Navy.  The model is laser-cut MDF, with card used for some of the details.


The pilot doesn't come with the kit - he's a deck crew model from Eureka Miniatures.





Action shot with my Op Husky Canadians, and a wading tank that Doug modelled out of the left-over bits from a Rubicon Sherman kit.
