BPM LVT (A)-1 Amtrack 1/87

Last build of the day. I'm trying to do more small stuff to get back in to that groove again before attempt my next project. I'm a big fan of BestPaperModels kits. They're relatively simple, usually with just enough detail to carry the look of the prototype, the fit is consistently excellent and the coloring is fantastic. And they lend themselves readily to extra detailing.
But this was a straightforward quick build just to get my mojo going again.

I built the upper hull section first and glued it to the main hull before I assembled that piece and I think it was a good way to go as it allowed a nice tight fitting that I wouldn't have gotten as easily on the assembled main hull.
Upper and lower hulls assembled;

I've always loved the look of this one with it's very Stuart-like turret and I can see where some layering would elevate this kit easily. As always with these BPM kits, I really enjoyed the build.

Beautiful work on this LVT(A), Chris, and you know that amphibs are dear to my heart!

You are certainly making tracks at a prodigious pace.
