Title: ARVN armored infantry
Post by: tomrommel1 on May 02, 2022, 07:36:38 AM

I am in the process of pinting up a platoon of ARVN armored infantry. I use Empress miniatures and 3D printed M113. Now my question. Is there any info about the markings used? Did they write slogans on the tracks?

Yes they did. Best way is to Google for pictures as you will see vehicles with slogans.  ;)

Johan at Star Decals has a selection of ARVN markings including M113s. In 1/72 so not directly of use but you can get an idea of the way they used symbols (Red/Yellow flag and Mythical animal designs mainly).
Only one "slogan" (on a CMP GunTruck).
He has NVA and US selections also.

All his pieces are based on all 4 side actual vehicle photos and he clearly states where he cannot verify a view from one side or rear etc.

Have a look on flickr, search ARVN M113. Quite a few pictures.
