Hello everyone,
I'm making a 1/35 dio depicting a Navy Seal patrol disembarking from a LSSC in the Rung Sat Special Zone, Mekong Delta, Vietnam. For reference I have read the book "Death in the Jungle, Diary of a Navy Seal" by Gary R. Smith. Smith chronicals several missions throughout the book, including a patrol order (date, time, coordinates, units involved, task, method of insertion/extraction, terrain, weather, moon, tide, team personnel weapons and order of movement, ect.). I'm attempting to be historically accurate as possible. I have I allready built Dragon's 1/35 LSSC (they used a LCPL Mk-4 and LCM-6) and have added Dragon's 1/35 Seal Team 2(4 figures) to the 4 figures that came with the LSSC. The patrol will consist of 7 Seals(I left 1 figure out the patrol).There are some black/white photos of one of their patrols. I am hesitant about depicting something inaccurately. Any advice would be greately appreciated.
Ray
