K&C Vietnam figures with writing on bavk of flak vests? (1 Viewer)

[MikeNick]

Are there any other US Vietnam Thanks figures that have writing on their flak vests like VN047 and VN038? Some have really cool mottos written on the back of their uniforms. Are these the only two?

The driver of the M274 Mule has LBJ's Hired Gun on back of his Flak Jacket.
Commander of M50 ONTOS has I.H.T.F.P on back of his
And there was a Chicago show special VN03 which I believe has Chicago on Flak Jacket.

I have added a few myself over the years as I expect other collectors have.

Oh and I forgot, one crewman with the Confederate Flag on his helmet of VN116 Mortarteam has PROUD REBEL on his flak jacket and his fellow crewman has MAKE WAR NOT LOVE on his helmet.

Here a couple of pics from the first release of the Vietnam War Series from about 20 years ago showing the helmets with writing.

Note the helmet of the gunner in the Huey .. AND the painting style then !!!

I really like KC's old Vietnam stuff, not as realistic like their current stuff, but I like the poses.

thank you,,laundry showed up that day,,Newer jacket w old style trousers,faded still the dude lol,,it was an earlier in the tour time and I was a bit apprehensive going out,,no dinner,,thinking pretty much only,,"lets go ,,get set up,,and down",,no vests,,noisy ponchos etc ,the point that night was a bit slower then usual getting to where it was,,backed out of the bush more then once so being down until he was certain and watching,waiting was throat closing,,
only carrying mag pouches,,a few lighter things and no vests,,out side the wire at 1st div,,2nd bgde `"bearcat'
I did have a vest I used as a vech seat cushion w "Chi town hustler" on the back,,,one hole thru it where I asked an old head how good it was,,,put the rifle up and shot one in and out perfectly,,very hot also,,,as Joe Galloway once mailed me,,"everything was luck of the draw"
