ARVN armored infantry
« on: May 02, 2022, 06:36:38 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?
In hoc signo vinces

Have a look at www.wargamesgazette.com

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.
