Hello there,
I just finished the built of this tiny jeep that served in the vietnam fo a short time.
The Plus Model is just gorgeous, every pieces are easy to prepare and fit perfectly.
This kind of model is closer to a quarter built than a 1/35 but it's a real pleasure to assemble.
here's a pic.....
Good evennig

The M422 looks great. The figures are incorrect though. You have US Army, 25th ID shoulder patches on them. The Mighty Might was used by the USMC as you have it marked, not the US Army.

Great looking Mighty Mite.
Nice to hear it's a good fitting kit, as one is sitting in the stash for a future build.

You are right
In fact, the action of this vignette takes place within in a base.
Therefore it does not appear illogical to place Us army infantrymen (preparing to conduct a patrol in the perimeter of the base) beside a jeep of the USMC.
I can understand i might be wrong about that, but I wanted to add the bravo6 figures.

Unfortunately, it is still illogical. The USMC and US Army were not usually stationed in the same areas or on the same bases. The soldiers are in late war uniforms and using M16s, which are also incorrect for the time period of the M422.
The model and figures look great, just not together. But go with whatever works for you.
