Anything new on the horizon for this range? Gunners? More Aussies? VC?

What on earth have voting machines to do with anything? Is this some weird US politics reference?

Popular name for South Vietnamese armour as they played a role in every coup. Diem was assassinated in the back of an M113 and Nguyen Cao Ky made sure that the VNAF had its own tank unit based at Tan Son Nhut. Why did the South Vietnamese air force need a tank unit you ask? Because the General Staff HQ and the organs of military power, essential in a coup, were based there.

Of course, if like me, you have recently had the pleasure of going through customs and immigration at SGN, with multiple planes landing at the same time, then you might wish you had one of those tanks.

Photos of M-24s as 'voting machines'.

The army ones seem to have sported a reddish brown over green camo pattern.

The VNAF ones had a rather jazzy scheme of dark green over light(er) green. On the off chance anyone fancies modelling one.

Interesting stuff- cheers! I’ve recently added 2 Chaffee’s to my French Indochina War collection. They are clearly “French” but (if no one’s looking) they may find their way on to the odd 1960’s game now I’ve moved some Empress ARVN off the lead pile.

What scale are the Chafee's? Ive been looking for some in either 1/48 or 1/50th scale

Yes!

Yes? Will that be the Rick Wakeman lineup or the earlier incarnation? Brave man going prog rock, ~~it was mostly over blown shite~~ quite divisive in terms of music fans.
