Thanks Ivan!
I knew,I knew that this question about MP-40 will be most popular!
Really,when Soviet Union helped and support VC,many captive German weapon were send in Vietnam for VC,especially during early stage of conflict....MP-40,Mausers 98K,MG34.

Nice figure, I think that I would have preferred an AK-47 or PPsh, the sales of the figures would be much greater if so.
Keep up the fantastic work.

Indeed. My uncle who was with the ARVN, used to show us kids his wartime booty. It was a Luger pistol with the Third Reich eagle on it!!
99,99% of VC or NVA in miniature are caricatures. The Bravo-6 are the most accurate on the market. Congrats Vladi for doing justice to an often neglected subject.
Thanks Vlad for the info, seems conflicts after WW2 all benefited from surplus german stuff, I know that in the middleeast was common but new to me in Vietnam ... and also read somewere about a diehard SS group that fought with teh Foreign Legion during the early Vietnam wars ... very interesting! And thanks Vlad for the info and creating something new and not the usual mainstream subjects! BRAVO!
