You're right there Robin !

As you can see my version of a Citadel Tower gateway is a bit more damaged than Andy's one !
The Marines took a couple of these Towers in the fighting. The Dong Ba one was severely damaged, even more so than I've depicted by the time of the final assault.

Thanks Brendan, my modelling skills aren't up there with our Aussie friends, but I did want to try and recreate this one small episode in the Battle for Hue and moment in history, where Alpha and Delta companies though with a lot of their number down, showed their courage and esprit de corps in attacking and finally capturing this Tower.
