This is absolutely incredibly work! Keep them coming!

My dear Sir-- that is a true work of art!
Very well done

just a beautiful build, and done quite well. I was taken back by the use of the SKS rifles, and you are more than correct here. Everybody thinks the NVA used mostly AK47's and Type 56 rifles. They used a lot of M1 and M2 Carbines as well as SKS rifles as well.

The NVA atop the tank are wearing faded greens, and once again you did very well. Still they could have been kakis. I (personally) never saw very many green pith helmets, and most were a light tan color. You still have it right!

Once again an excellent build.

Thanks for all value comments my friends

Nice job! May I ask, did you use the kit tracks, or replace them?

Dear friend
I use workable track of Trumpeter ( track from kit so stupid) but please careful the Kit Track of Trum lost over 10 tracks
i was angry about it

Excellent work on the PT and figures. congrats

This is very fine work. I wish I could do half as well.

I did notice some things to consider.

1) The trim vane should touch the hull front. It is to stop water from rushing up the front slope. The gap you have will not do that.

2) The circular intakes to the right front and left rear of the turret are for a nuclear blast protection system. Most photos of the tank during the war would suggest that system was not installed on the PLA tanks. The PT-76B at the Museum in Hanoi is probably the best example.

3) Maybe the hatch interior was not really white?

Picky stuff aside, this is really great work. You are to be complimented on your skills.

Dear friend thanks for your comments and they very helpful to me

I will place it in to my diorama and ready to passing river

this is interior of PT76 displays at War musseum in Vinh Long province south VietNam
I think it really white ( photo by me)
Thanks

I had heard some bad things about the workable track! In any case, I'll watch for the magazine article in a few months.

Khoi, your work on the vehicle and figures is simply amazing. Fantastic display. Thanks for sharing.

Best wishes,

Ian

Fantastic. I am thinking of doing an NVA AFV. This is a good choice, along with a T-5?.

AFV interiors are generally white, but the interiors of hatches or other parts that would be visible when opened are usually painted in the same color as the exterior of the machine.

Oh dear... just as I was cutting down on modeling.. you come out with this..great stuff....

WOW!!!!

Its been a while since I was in Vietnam (last time was in 2001). The only shop I was able to find was one in Ho Chi Minh Citu. ARe there any more shops these days?

This is great looking.I do love the way also you placed different weapons than most people think of being used during the Vietnam War by both the North Vietnamese Army and the Vietnamese People's Liberation Front(or as most Americans know as incorrectly call the Vietcong).I too will be looking forward to seeing your diorama.

Whoa---! AWESOME work on the PT-76 and the figures!!

Love the different tones of green and weathering!!!

Can't wait to see this in a diorama!!!!!!

Keep up the great work, Khoi!

With Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.
