Wild Bob: I think it depends what diorama you want to build. The french in their Indochina war used jeeps, of course. Also the ARVN Troops. I do not think it was in service with the US troops at their Vietnam war. Maybe in use with some other organisations. Take a look at this: https://cj3b.info/Military/Vietnam61to75.html Hope this helps!
I always liked the beautiful old boxart of the Airfix figure boxes. And I like the size of the boxes, too. Here are some examples. I think they always tell a story...Thanks for the artists! /media/tinymce_upload/f4efc878af8009ce50e314137e633f3a.jpg

Some years ago I build this BAC one-eleven from Aer Lingus in 1:144. It was build straight out of the box. I liked to close the windows with clearfix, but this didn`t work. /media/tinymce_upload/71bc68a133c47b929c35c5a9cee703be.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/8acefbaf7dbd1b0d2214509bf406fa4f.JPG
jopress57: Thank you! I have some old fabric of tights. This must be cut into little pieces and glued into position. Then painting the vehicle and at least glue the scrim on the nettings. I take several thinks from railway models, or even tea. Hope this helps. π

For my Falklands War collection I line to build a Leander Class frigate. The main deck is suggested in brick red. Is this really the right color for this? Thanks for help. /media/tinymce_upload/31746f8741c59988364ca23f4c998825.JPG
first update: some addings and some pieces I will stow on the vehicle. @jopres57: yes I will make the camos on my own like on the Scimitar. /media/tinymce_upload/069c621bc9b751092fdc69cf6004ca5f.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/3b3857247d3a5356d9fbf35f6155930e.JPG
I always liked the older boxart of figure boxes particular of Airfix boxes. Also I liked the small boxes. Unfortunately the figures in the box weren`t the same poses from those of the box in most cases. π€
I`m going to do a Recce Land Rover from BAOR for my "cold war" figures. The base for this conversation is an Airfix (JB) soft top Land Rover. First I will build the vehicle. /media/tinymce_upload/1a5338e6b784c88527d41de2dc9f70c2.JPG
Some time ago I painted some of these. I used white for the suit, grey for the gloves and boots. Black for the visor. I tried to use bronze for the visors, too, but was not very satisfied with the result.
Here is my Airfix Scimitar Tank with some camouflage. Due lack of crew figures I have done the crew myself by conversations of infantry figures. Making headphones was quite difficult. Its made from putty.Hope you like it. /media/tinymce_upload/b8f18c1247d7af6eed85474804e0f7a1.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/f6ae6e377f22459bd4f756fd718a5c55.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/048e4e088735b2cd6e0c19cfbad7c5bf.JPG /media/tinymce_upload/b0cb3f31e17750c1ce6a6e2c16c957df.JPG
