I got the interior kit for the 35022 from hobby fan and would like to know if anyone has any idea what the color scheme was? I remember some of it but it was 40 years ago. Have that age old memory lapse or dead spots. Whatever I need to find out so I can complete it.

Those were great, it's been a long-long time since I saw those views . Between yours and the other post I should be able to replicate it fairly accurately. Thanks a lot from a retired Jar-Head.

I took the liberty of translating your response into "Marine":
Walls = Bulkheads
Ceiling = Overhead
Floors = Deck

Already translated it myself, To many years of Staff Sargents bellowing in my ear to forget. Although I never remembered how to spell Sergents. HAHAHA. The LVTP5A1 is coming along very well, but I now understand what people say about working with Resin. One of the pieces was a little porous.

I will have to take a few shots of it, since it is only about 50% complete. Will get them up as soon as possible. I worked on those monsters along with the M50-A1 (Ontos) and the M48-A3 Patton. It seemed to be a never ending battle keeping them running.
