Nice job on the build and figures.

Only thing is needs more red in the ground most of what I have seen the ground was pretty red their.

But I guess it had to vary also.

Any takers on that?

But I guess as you live their you should know better.

Cool.

Looks great with the build and paint jobs!

Some years ago Iīve built an M-110 howitzer from Italeri, but didnīt made a complete scene for it.

greetings...

Looks pretty good. The howitzer looks nice and figures are well done. The only things that look out of place to me are the figure with a beard, and the rounds. Contrary to what Hollywood and Verlinden think, descipline was not so lax in Vietnam that guys were walking around with long hair and beards and smoking pot all over the place. Military grooming and uniform standards were maintained. As to the rounds, they look good, but are 155mm rounds. The M107 was a 175mm howitzer and the rounds were visibly different. I think Verlinden makes a 175mm ammo set.

cuong:

If you mean to say that the M-107 was also capable of firing a 155mm round, then I think your information may be incorrect.

Your diorama and model are very good though, I like them all very much.

Sorry, but no. The M107 was a 175mm gun. It could not fire 155mm rounds.

The M109 howitzer fired 155mm rounds.
