1/48 Vietnam infantry?
Posted by duogrey on Friday, April 5, 2013 12:07 PM

Anyone know where I can get some 1/48 Vietnnam infantry?  My next project I wanna do a huey airlift/airdrop but can't seem to find any infantry in 48 scale.  It's just as hard trying to find a good aircrew too, but I think I found some.  

On the same line, also looking for 48 Viet cong.  It seems the market for 48 scale Vietnam-era stuff is severely limited.  If anyone has any solutions, would love to hear them...

Or I may have to bite the bullet and go 1/35 scale on this project...

CMK does some resin figures. I have a set of their WW2 airborne infantry which are nice.

Track48 carries a lot of 1/48 scale figures, but there's just not a lot for Vietnam, in terms of armor or figures. http://www.track48.com/shop/

Yeah, starting to notice that.  I checked out track 48 earlier...and nothing.  I just may have to do 1/35th scale...

No, I'm sorry I have no experience with Propaganda-Kompany. But I do believe they're okay to give it a try.

Some really good figures on there...both U.S. and Vietcong.  Thanks again for the site recommendation.

I have ordered from Propaganda-Kompany many times.  Good service, sometimes you may have to wait if the item isn't in stock. The guy will custom pour orders though. 1/48 Figures, kits and detail set are very well done with losts of details and really small parts for resin, Some warping but that's to be expected. If you order the figure sets order a separate heads set so you can change things up.

Cool, thanks for the heads (lol) up.  Was just curious since it's an overseas company...
