Hello,
in my Projects around the Vietnam War we develope different Vehicle of the Mule 274, which had been used by US Marines in the Battle for Hué or in the Siege of Khe Sanh. This small all terain Vehicle could carry up to 1/2 ton of Cargo, but was also used as Plattform for the heavy weapons of the US Marines Battalions, the 12,7mm MG M2 and the 106mm recoiless gun.
I finished painting of the first Version of my mule sets. This time a load of ammunition boxes, together with 3 figure and a M60 MG.
The next Version I have to paint as fast as possible, here the 3D drawing
1. Transport of wounded Grunts ( Mule 274 + 4 Figure)
2. the heavy 12,7mm MG M2 with tripod (Mule 274 + MG + 3 Figure)
3. the 106mm Recoiless Gun M40 ( Mule 274 + M40 gun + 3 figure)
I paint my figure with Vallejo Colours. Have anybody a good Basic Colour for the US Uniforms in Vietnam ? I notice that the uniforms are bleached very fast, so a good Basic Colour which could be hightlighted in different ways would help painting a lot.
Ciao Michael
