Able Archer/ RFR rules - Vietnam in 20mm (part 3) - The Altaya models



This post was quick to follow the last one as these models are ready built die-cast and of excellent quality and price. I´m a big fan of Altaya as you can have a very good model ready for the table/shelves in just a few minutes. Of course you always need some extra details, figures, dusting after thin black applied somewhere or everywhere as these ones need to be close to other models and kits from other brands. 


Altaya has these two tanks for the US/ARVN side, the M-41 Bulldog and the M-48A3. They got some mud color spray but it looks I exaggerated, specially on the M-48.


The M-35 A1 was a gun truck heavily armored for Vietnam used mostly in the convoy protection role. I just added figures and some benches for them to sit. The right side truck was made first and has Skytrex figures added while the one to the left has Esci conversions. 


Two more helicopters, a Bell Huey UH-1 Iroquois and a Bell OH-58D Kiowa. 


And these three strike aircraft, very useful in the CAS mission, a F-100D Super Sabre, a Grumman A-6E Intruder and a A-4C Skyhawk. 


All these aircraft got a "Vietnam" base with the usual green flocking but with added plastic GW vegetation. 

Next: more Vietnam.
