V-100 Verlinden Commando (1/48th)
« on: 02 September 2017, 05:41:47 AM »
Quite a nice little resin kit and probably the only one available in this scale as far as I can figure out. ( I wonder if I can remember how to post images since its been ages?)  ::)







I also painted up some of TAG's hostages for this era.

Very cool.

Nicely done. I saw one in 1/72 in the model shop and thought it wasn't used much - but I see after a quick search it was used in convoy duty in Vietnam, so would come in handy.

Very nice!

Well painted.
Somewhere in my lead pile I have one of those.
When I do Viet Nam stuff again, need to paint it up.

Actually now you mention it I may have heard about the Solido version. Years ago I bought an M20 from Solido which turned out to be under-scale, more like 1/60th. It would be nice to know how it scales out?

@Von Lucky. I am slowly building up forces for a Convoy game. So far I have the V-100, two 2 1/2 tonners, two low loaders, a Bulldozer, one Mutt, two gun trucks and four M113's. It might be a case of having the terrain move rather than the Convoy as I will need a very large table to play with them all. ::)

I'd like to get some more Civilian vehicles like buses and trucks.
