Searching for 1962 US Army

Valkyrie is making the figures we are all seeking.

 Now we just have to add enough demand for them to produce a 60's era set.

Very cool!

Now for Checkpoint Charlie, 1961...

Thanks Gino. I have used the Mortar team to create some 1967 Egyptians (with Russian helmets) by adding shirt tails.

I will pick up some more as they are in the standing poses I need.

The command group is a good one too.

They want to be wearing coats like the Lt. in this picture, which I should be able to add with Sculpey.

Won't the plastic melt when you bake the Sculpey?  I'm guessing you meant one of the air-drying two part epoxy putties, right?

All the best,

Dan

 

I found the hawk missile kit from Renwal with revell instructions but its 1/32

I was under the impression that the 90mm recoilless rifle was replaced by the 106mm recoilless rifle, which was replaced by the TOW A/T System. BTW the M72 LAAW was the worst weapon made because it was disposable. One and done, afterward Charlie would come by, pick it up and make excellent booby traps with it. We should have developed more of an RPG system which the NVA, Iraqi soldier and their insurgents like to use against US troops and can be used over and over again.
