Nice.

Is the barrel in the equivalent of the Mule's travel lock?

It’s the bit with the extra vision slots added between the original cupola and the turret itself. Retrofitted onto tanks from around 1967 or so. Nicely done. Neither the Revell/Monogram or the Corgi versions feature this.

Great news on the spare track link. Can hardly wait to see the finished item.

Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo

“Fuck! Now where did I leave my car keys?”

No, seriously, that’s a lovely looking figure. Hopefully your range and that of Empress are vaguely compatible, cos I see a lot of mix ‘n’ match taking place.

By the way, does anyone know if there are decals available for vehicles for Nam in 1/56?

What sort of decals are you after? You’ll find plenty of 1/48 white stars, if that’s what you want. Things like USMC lettering etc you will probably need to raid from existing kits or 1/56 decal sets. As there have only ever been a couple of 1/48 plastic M-48 kits made in the last 50 years, one of them a ‘snaptite’ toy, the aftermarket decal selection doesn’t exist.

Ged’s no fool though and as the model is being sculpted by someone who already produces custom made decals for his own ranges I suspect it’s already sorted.

A Great figure. You've caught the mood well. I can almost feel and hear the blades of the helicopter as this guy springs out.
