Years ago I remember seeing in a hobby shop a set of two vehicles-a baot and a helicopter, used in the second Rambo movie. Is/was there an actual 1/35 figure of the Rambo character as well?
P. S. In the book the Rambo movies were based on, the Rambo character was not a big hulk who looked like Sylvester Stallone, but a pipsqueak who looked weak but was actually quite strong, like the protagonist of the movie "Bad Day at Black Rock."

Something like this :
If so the scale is 1/48, and there's no Rambo figure included Both kits are rather basic (especially the river patrol boat) and show their age...

Thanks, that brought back memories! (Though I never intended to buy that old kit... )
It would be neat to do a Rambo scenario, once I finish with the Hogan's Heroes set (which will take some time; I decided to have them with a captured KV tank taken to Germany for technical analysis. Something that could never have been done in the original TV series. )

If my memory serves me correct I think Barton Miniatures did a white metal Rambo type vietnam era special forces guy.
I think he had bare torso, long-ish hair and carried an M60 in one arm and a machete in the other.
Whether or not you could find one nowadays is different matter though!
