nice pics, the vietnam ones were different to the one in the picture, i think the danish ones have been extensively modernised.

just a thought, i know its not strictly accurate, but watch full metal jacket, and apocalypse now, both films have M41s in, may give you some ideas?

cheers

I have a few pictures posted in Webshots of a M41 Walker. Follow the link below (if it doesn't work just go to Webshots and search for my user name, it is stjohnba):

I know that there's not much there right now but the next time I go to Camp Atterbury I'll take my camera with me and do a good series of walk-around shots and post them to my Webshots album.

Thanks guys, yeah that danish M41 is very very modernized, basically i just wanted to get the coloring perfect, but the ones in FULL METAL JACKET are fairly spot on i think, cheers
