What is that triangular box thing? A POW cage? What would it be doing so close to a helo pad? And how is this identified as Tan Son Nhut? What is a VC doing with the NVA regulars? A scout?

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Wow, bunch of critics! LOL. I like it! I might go with the comment that there are too many figures though, just makes it look overcrowded.

The decals look a tad rough.

1/72 impresses me on those figs.

I agree with you Wayne, should be like this...(although from 1975)

MM if it were me I'd lose the chopper and have them all going the same way, like they had just breached the perimeter, which combined NVA and VC did accomplish at TSN in Tet. Afterwards about 1,000 or so were killed, but it had a massive political impact.

IMO: You should have added a Robert De Niro figure in 1/72 inside the POW cage and the dio had been PERFECT!

Interesting photo, I haven't ever seen that one. I was there in '75.

Heck of a nice set of figures. I am going to look for one although they are long OOP.

Off channel any time I would like to talk to you abt that time, there.

Model Maniac- that triangular thing looks like a defensive fighting position, but I can't find a picture of anything quite like that. Ours usually were a whole bunch of sand bags in a circle. I would like to see if you gave Joh a picture or something- purely out of interest to learn something.
