M113 'Track' Driver

The M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier or 'Green Dragon' as it was know by the ARVN was the favoured form of Transport for Allied Troops in Vietnam who called it by many different names;'Crackerbox' and 'Bucket' are some of the milder ones.

CARLOS NORMAN HATHCOCK
U.S.M.C Sniper with 93 confirmed kills and many more unconfirmed. Carlos is thought of as the 'Daddy' of the U.S.M.C Sniper Schools where he taught after being seriously wounded and sent home during the Vietnam war. Many of his methods and teachings are still valid and taught to this day.

CARLOS NORMAN HATHCOCK III

Carlos perfected the art of long range sniping,his weapon of choice being the M2 .50 heavy Machine Gun. He scored Kills at over 2000 yards using this weapon fitted with a home made Scope rail and Scope.

FLAMEGUNNER
U.S Army Flame Gunner in the Citadel  (Imperial Palace) at Hue City during the aftermath of the Tet offensive 1968. The defenders of Hue were caught by suprise during the so called cease-fire during the Tet holiday,the VC poured into the City in their hundreds and soon bitter street to street fighting was taking place

The rest of Hue city was relatively easily cleared but a large detachment of NVA/VC were well dug in the 'Citadel' despite the best effort of the ARVN,USMC and US Army they could not be routed.Airstrikes were eventually called and in the end the NVA/VC troops were captured or escaped

The actual Flame Thrower is Vintage WWII

these were still in use in Vietnam

U.S NAVY S.E.A.L
The U.S Navies S.E.A.Ls were highly trained Special Forces that took part in many clandestine missions and hit and run raids during the Vietnam War. Because of the way this unit undertook operations and because it came under the control of the Navy and not the Army many of it's every day items of War differed from other units in the same theatre.

The favoured support weapon of the SEALS  shows one such difference. The STONER LMG was a light support Wepon that was only adopted and used by Navy SEALs. The Army and Marines favoured the M60. SEALS are usually portrayed wearing Tiger Stripes but because of their standing they had many types of Uniform available to them and the Camo portrayed by my Figure was very common.

The Trooper is wearing US issue Jungle BDU's which were in wide use by the ANZAC Troops at this time along with the Jungle Boots,which were always highly sought after. The Webbing consists of M1956 Harness and Ammo Pouches along with British 44 Pattern pouches and WWII US Canteens modified to hang low on the belt,a style favoured by the Aussie Troopers.He also the 9ft Rope coil slung on his belt. He's also wearing a British pattern Jungle Hat which has been moulded to shape to suit,another Aussie favorite.The Rucksack is the later US Pattern with internal X frame.
The Weapon is an SLR/FN Self Loading Rifle with 20 round Mag which has been Camouflaged and has a Field Dressing taped to the Butt.This was the favoured Weapon amongst ANZAC Troops along with the US M16.

SUFFOLK REGIMENT
MALAYA 1950
The Malayan Emergency was a fierce 12 Year Battle fought in a distant part of the British Empire as Britain herself was recovering from WWII. Several thousand British Troops including many young National servicemen went half way around the World to fight the Army of the Malayan Communist Party led by Chin Peng and his Chinese Communist backers who wanted Malaya as a Chinese Communists State.This Army,bolstered by Chinese Communists who had alot of Jungle warfare experience after fighting the Japanese,inflicted heavy casulalties on the British at the start of the Campaign but they were soon to be the ones taking heavy losses as the British changed tatics and developed the 'Secure Hamlets' (which failed miserably for the Americans in Vietnam) and also the 'Hearts and Minds' strategy which soon led to the Communists being cut off from supplies and reinforcements and eventually to their destruction. Malaya was finally granted indpedance from Britian in 1957,so ending any justification for the uprising.

This is the 'Tail end Charlie' one of a group of Soldiers usually around Six but anywhere from Three to Eight who made up a L.R.R.P Team.
His Job was to make sure the Patrol wasn't being followed to their laying up point where they would spend the night as this was a favorite tactic the VC and NVA used to Ambush Patrols.
