WIP Tet Offensive Viet Cong Soldiers with Knocked out ARVN M-41

[Razorboy]

I started this build a while back and did some serious modifications to the 1/35 scale Tamiya "Walker Bulldog" M-41 tank to "ARVN - ize it. First off, the South Vietnamese M-41's had the position of the Commander's top turret MG moved from the side to the front of the cuppola. I added a ton of Photo etch parts to dress her up. The canvas gun mantlet cover is scratchbuilt using toilet tissue and watered down white glue. The figures are from Dragon and are awaiting paint. I have not started my diorama base at this point but it shall depict a city block of that era with lot's of damage. If you notice, the M-41 suspension has been altered to show the bogie wheels in a rubble environment. Aftermarket single links track will be applied.
