1/16 Vietnam commemoration build

[Tommy Isbister]

This is a 1/16 Bulldog I built to commemorate the brave men of Charlie company 196th LIB who fought in Twister Charlie Feb 1968 in the Heip Duc valley.  I usually display the tank with an original issue 1968 helmet I have. You can read an excellent book on this battle called "Through The Valley" by James Humphies.

Wow That M 41 is awesome! Great tribute to men who went underappreciated for a great many years in this country. I have several Vietnam era war vets in my family, and they all came back in shall we say "Less" than ideal condition.

Thanks.

As a Vietnam Vet all I can say is AWESOME.

I was sitting with a 200 kilo-ton Nuclear Pershing Missile in some German woods on that date and respect all those over there!

That's a professional job and gives honor where deserved. Coffee, cigs and paper ... what more do we need

Coffee, cigs and paper ... what more do we need

A clean M16, lots of full clips, and with any luck at all, the sound of a dustoff Huey coming in just over the treeline.

Fine looking model, by the way,

Very kool!!!!!!!!

[Apriliadan]

That is a beautiful model.

Might now be such a good day if some of those items were to get wet, just saying.

Very good model. Hats off to you guys who went through that. I'm 63 and I tried to enlist in the Navy (like my grandfather) but a ruptured ear drum prevented that.

Nice build up!
