LVTP-5 Build review

It builds up nicely. No real issues. The bogie assemblies and side walls are a little tricky to get all sandwiched in together, but no real problems. Leave off the upper run of track that is hidden inside the hull to make it a little easier on yourself. I put a scratch-built interior in mine. The gaping interior and huge hatches scream to have the interior detail added. I highly recommend it. It is a great kit.
Hobby Fan does a resin interior set for it too, but it is way overpriced, about $100.
This has nothing to do with a review of this model, but I blew up a LVTP-5 with a M-21 landmine back in 1991 during a training exercise. The explosion lifted the amtrak and moved it a yard. Heheheā¦
