anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a Higgins boat in 10mm ?
Pendraken do a LCVP and LCT, pictures in this thread http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,12894.msg178985.html#msg178985 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,12894.msg178985.html#msg178985)
Which type - MTB or LVCP?

Ian, if you are looking the MTB, Testors do an easybuild kit number 862001 in 1/200. I picked up a few on ebay.
The model comes in at 13cm from bow to stern and a beam (deck width) of around 4cm -you need to cut to waterline,
I know its 1/200 but with a few 10mm crew and pendraken armament on board they don't look out of place. I got mine for £4 + postage.

Hello OS
The only landing craft I know of are the Trumpeter/Easy Build LCM3 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TU00102 (https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TU00102)

and the Fairy Kikaku Daihatsu Class Landing Craft w/Tank http://www.hlj.com/product/firs008/Nav (http://www.hlj.com/product/firs008/Nav)

(Probably wrong flavour though :) )
Only other option would be card models http://paperterrain.mybisi.com/product/lcvp-higgens-boat (http://paperterrain.mybisi.com/product/lcvp-higgens-boat)
