Hi Vlad, Great Figure, I might just put this one in my Dien Bien Phu Dio. So far I have all the Platoon Figures, but just wondering if you are doing, "and I hope you do" produce Sgt Red O'Neill, one of the Funniest Characters in the Movie.

Keep up the Excellent work.

Another great choice and great work, Vlad, along with the recent "Ruff-Puff" in bush hat, who could also be used as V.C. with some new head gear and an AK. And is that an RPD that the V.C. soldier is holding?! I don't think that I've ever seen one of these modeled before! Great detail on his sandals, too.

No doubt, you've got plenty more to go from the film (Captain Harris working the radio during the final ambush would be great along with Red O'Neill and the other Sgt. played by Tony Todd, along with Werner, Sal, Tex (firing the M60, of course, Big Harold, Junior etc.etc. )...

Will be be seeing any NVA in combat poses? And yep, I mirror James' comments in that we could use US Army, Marine, ARVN, Aussie, and of course, NVA AFV crews at some point in the future?

Thanks again, Vlad! These figures rock --- can't tell you how good it is too see such quality product being produced for Vietnam War modelers!!

Keep up the great work, Vlad!

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

I was thinking also of khmer Rouge figures, they wear mao type caps, black pyjama type uniforms and a checked scarf round their necks.
Another interesting subject would be meo tribesmen which the CIA trained.
