The next NVA soldier with a rare of white uniform. The uniform is shown in the book by Emering . I can’t recommend that book highly enough as it shows pictures of original equipment.

Great figures again, I'm going to have to have a go at these contrast paints, I bought a bottle of the contrast medium to see if it works with Vallejo paint.

It does work but you only need a very tiny amount of Vallejo color in the mix.

The next NVA soldier. Looks a bit like a north Vietnamese ” Rambo”.

Nice work! It's amazing how well the camo blends in with the elephant grass.

Coincidentally, I've just finished rereading Michael Hodgins' book Reluctant Warrior. It seems to be a great first-hand source on Marine Recon scenarios and tactics:

Thanks Splod!

As promised here is a NVA heavy machine gun on the move.  Really nice sculpt by Paul Hicks!
