Soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army in the 1:32 ratio. A tropical helmet of pressed wood pulp, plain khaki clothing and light field equipment.
Responsibility details are not available.
The North Vietnamese Army waged the war without air superiority and without a dense road network, but with deeply thought-out supply. Loads traveled along trails through the Laotian and Cambodian border country on bicycles with sacks of rice tied to them, on the backs of porters and on trucks that hid under the vegetation by day. That way of fighting shows on the figures: they carry only the barest necessities.
The most conspicuous feature is the light helmet of tropical cut with a flat crown, made of pressed wood pulp and covered with cloth. Then comes a simple tunic with patch pockets, trousers tied at the ankle, rubber sandals cut from a tire and canvas ammunition pouches worn around the waist. Nothing extra, no bulletproof vest and no bulky webbing.
The set covers the time of the big battles of the second half of the 1960s as well as the later campaigns, when the northern units already had armored vehicles of their own. The figures therefore hold up in a scene with a tank just as well as in dense vegetation or at the mouth of an underground shelter.
The castings come unpainted. The khaki shade of the cloth calls for lightened edges and plenty of dust, because uniforms washed and washed again faded quickly. Insignia and badges were rare on rank-and-file soldiers, so a modeler gets by with sparing decoration and concentrates on the faces. The rubber sandals have a matte surface and will stand a dark wash in the crevices, while the helmet cover tends to be a shade cooler than the tunic.
