Very nice.

I hope they are at Salute.

Does this mean the ARVN might get an M41?

Yes to the M41 not sure to the Salute date. Should be for Warfare.

The duster looks great, one of my all time favorite afvs!  Will there be crew to go with it?

Time for some sound effects.

I am sure the commentator in the first film is that famous Englishman Bob Hope.  ::)

No sound on this one and a bit grim at the beginning but you do get a puppy.

Good shot about half way through of a campaign looking Duster.

I have a request for some separate heads, they being us boonie caps and M1 helmets with the Mitchell covers. I know the ultra modern USMC line does have boonie caps but they seem a little more stiff with a wider brim then the Vietnam era caps.
And I would like the helmets to add to some of the spec ops units to change them up a bit. And I think they would look good on some of the WW2 late wars figs to represent some south America government forces in the 70s.  ;D

"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

'Bush hat' heads would be very useful. Stop me from beheading more Anzacs...

Just an update on the Duster.

Its at the moulders but not going to be available for a few weeks. We have to get it moulded, make sure its perfect, then make production vehicles for stock before we release so two to three weeks.

We also have to do crew for it which will probably be done before we release.

We have some new figures for the 28mm ARVN range due out soon. These are pictures of the sculpts before Paul Hicks and I tweaked them.

As usual with our ranges these are based on photographs.

Stay tuned for the real release.

Cheers, Paul
