Makes perfect sense! Poor radio man though!

Yep.  He also had an antennae/spare parts bag strapped to the side of the radio, and usually had at least one spare battery too.  And that's in addition to his usual gear.  The RTO carried almost as much weight as the M60 gunner...

Well all the basics done, they need some details to the bases before basing properly and a few coats of varnish!

I’m not sure ash, maybe Hue? As some of the guys have ARVN type weapons, I think a Mat and Thompson, I’ve looked at your thread and I like the sparse look of the bases with bits of rubble etc

All done! Got to say after initial challenges, ie knowing nothing about the USMC uniforms of the Vietnam war, these were brilliant to paint!!! Loved em! Just hoping empress do some early war ww2 French or germans at some point ....

Very nice work! :) 

I like the uniform and web gear color choices - close to what I'll use in my Vietnam stuff.  I especially like the helmet covers - they look the part (we had them in my National Guard unit in the early 80s).
