WEATHERING DECK CARGO ON A LVT4

HIYA, im in the process of building the airfix (EUGH!!!) 1/72 LVT4 buffalo. i was wondering…i am going to mount the finishes kit on a beach diorama and i was thinking…i know that the LVT4 wouldnt have been muddy, but the running gear would be covered in sand…but what about the jeep inside…would that be dirty or should i paint that relativly fresh? also i was going to scratchbuild a basic interior, does anyone know where i could find references??? thanks in advance… Dan.

I would make it a wet look because of the salt spray from the waves that would splash against the side of the LVT4 . you could have a cover of dust because anything in storage is coverd by some dust, and unless it was off the factory line it would look used.
