Cool, but not used by anyone in Vietnam. Stick the quad .50s in the back of a Solido M-35 truck and then we're talking.

Nice work anyway.

Hey, how are those support weapons and platonn command coming along for your Chinese?

I don't remember the source, but a few were used for convoy protection.

Modeling armor of the Vietnam War from Finescale modeler has an article on them :)

the quad on a M35 is coming, weathering it tonight ;)

I've seen no pics of the US using them, however it's possible that the French and maybe even the ARVN did.

i think, not sure in any way, that the ones used for convoyduties may be leftovers from earlier days, seems a bit strange to haul an out of service vehicle to asia..
