So far the plan is for the cluster of troops, M113 and M151 hashing out some details while the M60s and Vulcan deploy. As you know the terrain with the dunes with reddish sand and heavy vegetation makes for interesting diorama combinations.

Just put a couple of MP's out and have them crossing Fred Wilson Blvd.! Love it, really happy to see someone modeling stateside 80's units, and 3D ACR to boot

For realism's sake make sure to show the Vulcan almost out of fuel, with deadline deficiencies, no maps, no chow,and a crew that's all on "profile"! Damned "duck hunters"

Good idea on the MPs! Maybe make it the M60s are crossing US54 with the MPs waiting to hold up civ traffic.

Maybe missing some gear from hocking it at a Dyer pawn shop? Speaking of ADA, I did do one of the 1/65 IHAWK Ocelots, but sicne the only kit was the Revell Hawks it didn't look right.
