Is the figure on the radio holding an M4? Didn't think M4s appeared in the Nam' era.
Pretty cool figures though...

M4 wasnt used in nam, it was the CAR-15, which is an early derivative of that weapon, although not directly.

Thanks,guys!
It`s photo of pre-cutting master-model.While I sculpted officer I did n`t change barrel of rifle,cause this detail is very crispy and can damaged during sculpting process).But after cut this figure I made correct barrel of CAR-15 (more short) and resin copies will be have correct barrel.
Lerner (character of Johnny Depp) was platoon translator,no RTO.Platoon had four radiomen
(pvt Ace,pvt Crawford,pvt Tony and pvt Fu Sheng) and I choosed private Tony for prototype as more interesting and "bright" type to my mind:-)
