A mini-gun ACAV and a standard troop carrier M113A1 with Okinawa gun shield patrol the streets of Saigon during the Tet Offensive. Two converted 1/32 Forces of Valor M901s.

Decided to upgrade an old FOV M3 Lee I had. Opened the drivers vision hatch, added a counter-weight to the barrel and marked it as a 1941 tank.

Here is an M163 Vulcan based in Vietnam. Decided to do this one like the Figarti Tigers from years ago, removable body to show interior detail.

Its an older kit but surprisingly it went together well. Was worried about window fitment but they fell right in. A little flash here and there but overall a great kit for the price.

Aussie Patrol has mission brief before loading up on Huey. K&C Aussie Patrol with 1/32 Revell UH-1D.

You know your King Tiger tanks! Thanks for the info on 312. I did find info on the web about it. I will check on that book. I'm currently working on customizing the 1/16 Tiger I but haven't decided on paint scheme. That's why I love the Forces of Valor vehicles. They are robust and lend...

Glad you got it all sorted out. These things are well worth the effort. They dominate the shelf.

Hi Andy, It was easy to miss, it was only on screen about 20 seconds. After the final battle when Taylor shoots Barnes, the M113 comes busting thru the bush, with infantry support. And yes it was flying the German Battle flag. Guess some kinda message from Stone about how out of control some...

Heres my rendition of the M113 from the movie Platoon.

Nice shot!! Good ole Lulubelle. Real name was Lucybelle but Boyington changed it because he was mad at one time girlfriend. And he probably never flew 86 in combat, it was just available for a propaganda photo shoot. Like the way you arranged the figure with plane, can't tell size difference.

Its tight. You push the tabs and push down on the turret floor at the same time. I know what you mean, it feels like the tabs will break. One of mine did. I guess warming it up may help, I never tried that. I think the paint could stand hairdryer heat but not heatgun. Its difficult and...

Here are some pictures. Kinda hard pushing the tabs and lifting at the same time. Just be careful those tabs can snap off.

Inside the rear turret hatch is a latch you have to carefully push to release the basket from the turret. But be very careful I have discovered that the plastic on these models is very brittle and will snap with very little pressure. I have had to reattach almost all of the spare track hangars...

Repainted an old 1/32 Sherman.

Thanks. Actually considering doing a sunken recovery tank, would be cool. Might do a screens up version too.

Had an old 1/32 Sherman laying around so I decided to convert it into a pre D-Day Duplex Drive.

IDF Magach on patrol.

This represents a C-47 from the IX Troop Carrier Pathfinder Group. On 6 June 1944 at 0016 hrs this aircraft dropped Pathfinder Stick No. 19 from the 502nd PIR over Drop Zone C Normandy. All Unit markings have been painted over.

Added interior with sandbag floor to my converted ACAV.

Maybe he could be used as a REMF "In the rear with the gear".
