Description
This set features 3/4 CAV AFVs that fought in the Vietnam War. A continuation from set D356266. 3 M113A1 ACAV and 3 M551 Sheridans. This set covers A, B and C Troop vehicles. A Troop, denoted by red barrel rings (triangle corners for M113s). B Troop white and C Troop blue. Each vehicle comes with personalised markings (some interesting). For example, A26 had "Snoopy" in front. White B16 had skull and crossbones on the barrel sleeve. All 3/4 Cav vehicles have both white numbers on the hull sides. This set allows both types of vehicles in one diorama. Also provided: full, accurate exterior M551 hull stencilings & silver-edged Data Plates (for the AN/VSS-3 searchlight), accurate M113 exterior hull stencilings, and Vietnam era .50 Cal ammo box stencils. The Vietnam war M551s are full of stencils, particularly the turret sides and rear. When you remove any of the ammo boxes or water can, there will be a stencil visible. When you remove a tool from the hull rear, so will a stencil appear on the surface beneath the tool. This set featured a second unit Guidon, black with white crossbones, used during the war. Something to spice up the antenna!
