Well, you already have a battalion commander in the line up, so why think small? lol
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Got a lot of toys coming through the production system at the moment ranging from vehicles, to USMC, to NVA, to civilian carts, to well the list goes on.  :o

Stay tuned early next week  ;)

Any chance of some engineers, snipers and some heavy weapons and crew? 60mm mortars, maybe a .50 cal? A specialist weapon pack with shotgun, sniper and spotter? Some casualties would be nice.

It sounds greedy, I know. You’ve been very generous with us so far but it’s hard not to want more. :)

For what side, Marines?

Yup, marines. I’m confident that the NVA will get their own dedicated sapper teams.

Mine detectors, maybe a chap with a bangalore, someone with a satchel charge,another prodding for mines for the Marines? Probably be the best place to put the flamethrower chap you mentioned

Yes to all plus medics, vehicle crews, especially tanks.

NVA will have similar if not more variations as they are designed to work for all areas of the conflict.

Excellent!  :)

Hopefully, at some point, the PAVN will get vehicles of their own. A PT-76 and a Type 63/ K63 APC would fill some gaps for Vietnam and a few other conflicts as well.

While I’m at it, I don’t suppose there’s any chance of some US gun crew? Bare torso would see them work for both Army and Marines and I’m sure there will be folk wanting to build miniature fire bases.

Bare heads or giggle hats would work as well and also suit those who want Aussie gun crews.

Excellent!  :)

Yes to the vehicles in the future. Lots to do old boy. ;) Yes to arty with crews. Again just the all consuming concept of time and not enough of it.  :)

We already do head sprues for bare heads. Check Andy Zecks work as he has used some.

Looks good... shouldn't the glasses be black? Thick plastic glasses where really "in" in the 60s...

In the book "Phase Line Green" by Lt Warr he recounts how one Marine had thick, bottom of coke bottle glasses. This chap could barely see and was sent into Hue?
