                        I have see only a few figure kits for 1/72 in the vietnam era. I'm trying to figure out how to recreate soldiers who were working in the base camps who were just in the olive greens with no gear.

                         

                        Any thoughts?

                        ok heres another thought. After some basic research do you think I could get away with korea war figures? Seems like the uniforms are similar.

                        For early Vietnam that would work... but the later jungle fatigues are closer in cut to WW2 era M42 paratrooper uniforms (both were designed by the same guy) than any Korean era fatigues.
