    That looks awesome. I'm still trying to get the last one B6-35036 USMC Fallen Comrade. Nobody has them in USA. Vietnam is all I do and the battle of Hue is my favorite subject. I think I have at least one of every Bravo 6 US Vietnam figure set. I think I want to put them all together for a cool Dio of street fighting. But I have noticed that certain small units wore their protective mask on the right side. They were supposed to be worn on the left(I know I wore one). I forgot which unit it was. So if you want to be totally accurate that's a little thing there. I read a few years back that the Marines also broke out some old BARs to help with firepower issues, not enough M60s I guess. BUT I still have not seen any pictures of Hue fighting and US Marines with BARs. Shotguns yes, Thompson SMG yes, M3 SMG and even M2 carbines but no BAR, even the old 30 cal browning MGs on the Ontos but no BAR. I also noticed that many companies that make Vietnam era figures make the men too heavy(Hobby Fan). Most guys lost at least 20+ pounds there. If you look at pictures all the soldiers were thin and gaunt. You got that correct as with many other details. Many of your recent figures are very close to actual poses of US forces in battle from pictures I have seen. Keep making them and I will keep buying them.

    can you explain a bit more about this-what mask do you mean?
    NOV 18, 2011 - 02:56 AM
    Us forces in the '60s were issued a "protective" mask, ie: gas mask. I belive it was an M-19. The filters were in cheek pouches,(before NATO standard screw-on canisters).This was prior to the MOPP gear issued later. During my tour in '66-67' the mask was left in the rear with the gear. Cannot/will not speak for all, but the unit I was in didn't carry anything not used on a daily basis,as the crap got heavier with every step. The emphasis was on "bullets & beans" ,and oh yeah, dry socks ..... HTH Jake
