Fantastic, really well done. You’ve managed to make each vehicle look really individual. Do the models come with all that stowage/equipment or did you add it yourself?

Really nice. The M113s are really good but I like the tanks even more

Well done!

The customization of each vehicle really makes a great difference to the overall effect.

They come with some stowage but I added my own to customise them and try to get them to all look different. .

They also got other bits done... One of the ACAVs has a mini-gun for example, but the biggest work went into the two M48 tanks. The Xenon searchlight is cast on the turret, and as only one tank in two carried it, I had to remove the entire mantlet from one tank. I replaced this with one from a kit and replaced the other tanks barrel with one from another kit to maintain the same look to them both. Worked out well.

Ooooh... I feel I'm getting dragged into Vietnam again!

Really splendid work. I actually went with kits for my vehicles, but apart from the choppers I think I should have gone with Britannia.
