Hi fellas,

I have started the old Tamiya M42 Duster, and want to build it in a Vietnam dio setting, so I need some reference pics.

If those have some other vehicles alongside, even better....

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Here's one preserved at Aberdeen.

A few shots from Vietnam.

Hi Klaus !

You'll find many interesting M42 pics (and quad 50s pics as well...) on the
National Dusters, Quads and Searchlights Association website

Thanks for the help guys

Howdy Klaus,

I discovered one at the Colorado Highway Patrol/Colorado State Detention Center some years ago...it is in superb condition. I always planned to stop by and take some photos for reference, but the process you have to go thru to get in the fence always seem to be enough to 'put me off'....one of these days

Tread.

Here is a web site that might help you also.

Thanks guys for the help.

Question, the Duster was mainly used in fixed base positions or as a convoy vehicle also? Cause I vwanna place a couple of guntruck Mutts and a deuce and a half truck....

And many infantry around, off course

Thanks

Cheers

They were used for both. You'll find some info about the use of M42s in Vietnam here :

The Dusters were used at bridges and fixed base security. They saw very little if any convoy security duties. They wore out the tracks too fast and they could not keep up with the trucks. It was a comforting sight to see them at the bridges though. The M 48 tank also was used at the bridges and at certain check points along some of the more traveled roads.

Thanks for the input Dave, now I know what kind of stting I´ll have to build....oh well

Cheers
