River patrol crafts
« on: November 03, 2008, 02:42:54 PM »
I know this is a thread dedicated to WW I and II but mybe you can help me out. I'm planning a Vietnam 1:72 force at the moment (having come a long way with my SS troops, so it's time for something new). I've been looking for a riverine warfare patrol craft as used by the US military in Vietnam. Does anybody know of a decent model in 1:72 scale (1:76 would work as well)?

SDD models has in their Vietnam ranges some nice models and figures [listed as 20mm] I had some, nice little models.

I have some of the old Gramodels 1/76 scale ones hanging around somewhere. If ever i do that era, I think it will be in 15mm, so i could be persuaded to dispose of them.
