Must just say what X'lent jaint jobs.
Query though. (I am no expert I can assure you) Looking from the rear is the right hand track on the right way?
If it is I apologise but something just caught my eye. #:-)

Thank you very much for your kind comments and compliments!, I'll let my modeler know about them.
Cromwell, your query is right. I also noticed that either of the track is on the wrong way, but I don't know which one.

I love the camo job on the LVT. One not seen too often. Great job.
The right side's track is backward - if sitting in the turret facing forward. The treads are designed to form "cups" which help propel/push it in the water.

Thanks a lot, Kencelot, for your compliments on the LVT and the final answer about the track. I reviewed all my pics of the LVT and have to say that both you and Cromwell have very sharp eyes to tell the wrong from the right, because none of the pics let you
see both tracks at once, and the one track you see is in such ambiguous angle. Yet both of you can tell. That's wonderful!
