Everything qualifies- land, sea, or air. Military or civil, as long as it was used in action or direct support of thewar by either side. I will get you added on the roster. Welcome aboard TB!

Yo, Stik -- I gotta be in this one! Put me down for a Fujimi 1:72 A-7 Corsair II, possibly with AM markings, and we'll see what happens from there -- possibly something in camo! BTW, is this aviation only, or would armour qualify?

Cheers, Mike/Thunderbolt379

Ok, Josiah, I'll get you on the roster here. The subject area is quite broad, so something has to tickle your fancy here...

Count me in Stik, I'll be reading a book about Vietnam this summer so I'm sure that'll provide some interest in something to build...TBD for now.

I believe the last GB I joined of yours was the Korean War build...hopefully I'll be able to finish to this one ;)

This is perfect for me. I have a ton of models that don't fit in "normal" Group Build categories.

Let's start with a 1/72 J-79 on an Engine Maintenance Trailer, towed by a Ford Tractor,,,,,and then get weird from there.

Stik,
I'll jump in on this one as well with DML's 1/200 B-52D Stratofortress. Once completed I plan on gifting it to my father as he did a tour as a tail gunner, counting SAMs on many occasions and fortunately never being hit by one.

WIP:
Trying to get my hobby stuff sorted - just moved and still unpacking.

I take it this is the actual build thread Stik. In that case, put me down for the Italeri 1/72nd F-111A. I have been saving that for this GB.

Well, alright - I see your GB is like an A-bomb - hits everything! In that case I'm in, just don't know what my model will be, but it will be Vietnam-themed. Until later, have a nice day

50th Anniversary Vietnam War Group Build

Posted by stikpusher on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 12:09 PM

Today, on the 39th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, and the end of that war, I am putting out the feeler announcement for a Vietnam War GB on here. It will kick off August 4th 2014 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Tonkin Gulf Incident, and run until April 30th 2015, the 40th Anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. This GB will be open to any and all subjects that participated in the Vietnam War, post 1957, land, sea, or air, any scale, any medium. Military, Government, or even Civil Support are all wanted. If your model subject was in theater actively participating or supporting one side or the other, from the advisory period until the fall and post war operations, it is welcome here.

Rules of Engagement:

1) Any kit, any scale or subject in any medium- plastic, resin, paper, metal, etc. of any subject that participated in directly or support of the war In Vietnam during the post Geneva Accords perios from 1957 thru 1975 with the fall of Saigon and immediate aftermath operations such as the Mayaguez Incident. Land, Sea, or Air, figures, dioramas, everything!

2) Crossovers with other GBs are allowed

3) Prestarted are allowed, up to 20% done

4) Post pictures, sharing your work is an absolute must!!!

5) Share your knowledge and information- I know that there are a lot of members here who served in some way connected to this war, or had freinds or family members who did, Please share anything and everything that you think may help a fellow participant here.

6) No politics!!!!!! I know this is a fine line to tread in this subject area. Stick to the facts when discussing aspects of the build(s), not opinions regarding those facts.

7) Lucky 7... HAVE FUN!!!!!!!
