I have a copy of Hobby Boss' LVTP-7 kit and was doing a bit of research on the interior for when I do get ready to start on it. I came across a bit over at AMPS that kind of puzzled me. Maybe someone can answer it. The review says that:
However, the detail might get lost due to being painted in that one shade of “SEA FOAM GREEN” (or WHITE depending on which country you plan on building).

My question is what countries use the white interiors? I plan on doing my kit as an Argentine vehicle with a green interior. I'm really more curious about it than actually needing the information.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, interesting. I don't know of any LVTP7/AAVP7 used by any country that has a white interior either. All I have seen are Seafoam Green.

The "white" reference in the AMPS review really caught my eye since the LTVP-7s went into production after the IS armor interiors went to the pale green. The only thing I can think of is that it's a nation whose military prefers the white and would have repainted them. Looking at the operators list on wikipedia none of the nations really jump out as liking white interiors....Indonesia maybe? Anyway, it was more out of curiosity than any real need.
The kit really looks sweet. And I hope to take my time to do the thing justice. Best thing is I got it on sale from Squadron for $15. I had to wait a few months for it on backorder but I can't even get an old Tamiya T-62a for that cheap.
