Well it has been awhile to say the least since I started this build. But I finally finished it last week and gave it to my buddy in time for his unit's reunion. I used the pictures his wife had provided to recreate as best as possible the vehicle he drove.

He really liked it and it was a hit at the reunion, only thing no one could figure was why was a marine building a model for a soldier!

I built this kit last year and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a fabulous kit and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Terry.

No as I understand it the 718th had most of cars. But they used this one for patrols around Saigon and the airfield in '71'72 time frame.

Lookin' good! The 716th isn't the "typical" M706 unit, is it? I'll be watching, good luck with your build and have a nice day

Good looking start! Big Smile I'm working on the V-150 with 90mm cannon, so this is a timely build for me. I'll be following along with interest.

sweet! so far so good, I can't wait to see the finished kit. Yes

I've built a kit for a Vet once and it was worth every minute of time to see his face light up when he opened the package and he saw his vehicle with the correct markings as he had it.
