Does anyone make add on sets for this kit, like interior detail, or a way to turn it into an LVTE Engineer model? I haven't mastered scratch building yet and right now a lot of places have these kits marked down. I don't mind building them OOB, but I'm just wondering if there are any accessories for this I might also be interested in.

Hi Brad

If you want aftermarket stuff for this big beast, Hobby Fan resin sets are for you :
HF010 : LVTP5 interior
HF011 : LVTR1A1 Recovery vehicle conversion
HF516 : LVTP5 crew and sandbags
Just remember that Hobby Fan sets are not really cheap. For instance, for the price of 1 HF011 set you could almost get 2 AFV Club kits !
AFAIK There's no set for the "Potato digger" , or the LVTH versions ...

Have the Hobby fan sand bags cost some bucks but look killer in kit form anyway.
They did a set of figs but never got them (++) (:-)
Actually Hobby fan is the resin company of AFV (++) (:-)

bracomadar,
I'm working on making a mold to cast my scratchbuilt LVTH6 turret ... (actually, I'm workin' on getting the money together to buy the RTV mold materials)
I refuse to take it apart for molding until I have the stuff in my sweaty little hands. I have posted a few pics to my gallery of the almost finished model. Next project... LVTE1 engineer vehicle. I've got a ton of reference pics for both from the USMC HQ- museums division at Quantico, Virginia. so it should go smoothly.
If your interested, I'd be happy to share the reference I have.
Chuck
