There are much better kits out there than the ancient Monogram one.  It isn't really the correct version for Vietnam in '69 either.  By that time, M48A3s were the norm.  For a US Army M48A3 in Vietnam, I would get the Dragon M48A3 or M48A3 MOD B kit.  They are light years more detailed and just all-around a better kit than the crappy 1950s Monogram one.

Having recently built the Monogram kit, don't. It's very dated and has so many things that are in need of fixing- one of many are the ridges on the turret in place of the grab bars.

Were A2's even in Vietnam?

Zombie thread, gratuitous Rob Gronovious sighting. What a morning.

Well speaking of rock and roll legends, I really wish Dragon would issue their A1. I want to build Elvis's tank!

Yes that'd be swell. I plan to build a couple of M59 APC's then too. Have the Bulldogs on salt.
