G'day, well ive started my dio of the siege of khe sanh,( the first of 3 khe sanh dios i have planned) its having a small foxhole/bunker with us marines in it, it will be on top of a slope of course, and at the bottom i am going to have some shrubs, maybe a tree or two, and running out of the bushs i want to have some nva, but i am wondering, are the dml nva sappers a suitable kit for the nva, i mean i have alot of web sites and books and i know enough about the us forces, but they dont really say to much about the nva, can anyone help me? thanks in advance

I built the DML sapper kit some time ago and really liked it. I made it little dio of them running at some barbed wire with the DML green berets behind the wire. It is a good kit, even though it is older. I think it would be the kit to use...

HTH,

Shaun

Good luck, make sure to keep us posted with some pics!

It's a pretty good kit to use.... Considering the other options.......$$$$$$$$$$$

Howdy lestweforget,

Sounds like a great idea you've got there! I must say, I like the subject matter.
I'll be watching this one, good luck.

Not much out there as far as NVA goes besides the DML kit but here's something you might use. It's a site called Visions Of Vietnam I happened to stumble upon it rather deep in a google search for battle of Hue pics for a recent diorama. It's got tons and tons of great reference pics, including Khe Sanh. The great thing is that nearly all the photos have a description with them telling you what you’re looking at. BTW, I think Dragon is re-releasing the NVA Sapper Team later this year, at least here in the states. This is one I'm gonna have to get since I missed it the first time around. Good luck on your dio.

Im doing a dio of KheSanh for operation coverup campaign. Will you show some progress pics of youre dio. Wish there more builders interested in Nam and more kits available any way good luck with youre 3 dios. Keep us posted.

thanks guys, well i dont have a digital camera or scanner but my unlce has a scanner so as soon as i get some pics i will keep you guys up to date with how im going, that visions sight is great bracomadar, i have a few nam dios planned, this one like i said is the first of 3 for khe sanh, the next will be of an m41 walker bulldog of the 13th marines sitting in a sandbagged position, and the one after that of a huey picking up some troops from the base. After that i plan to make a dio of the tet offensive in hue, so let me know how you are going on yours bracomadar.
I have already completed a dio of the 25th taking fire from a bunker complex near cambodia, i must get picks up. well, just thought i'd let you know what i have got planned for the future, cheers
