stevej60 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I see this little kit is back on release,I quite fancy having a go at it but painting it to represent the memorial rather than the actual event,wasn't there a kit of the three figured Vietnam memorial?

krow113 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Fun little model to build. I suppose you could just leave off the groundwork and spray the whole item in bronze. OOB 'cept for the groundwork and a plastic card for the flag. Edited December 30, 2017 by krow113 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The 3 Figure Vietnam memorial statue. Yes there was back in the ‘80’s or early ‘90’s. Interesting to see if they do one of the Korean war memorial statues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've ordered the kit and should have it in a day or so,also one of the Airfix 54mm figures about time I re-visited these kit's too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) When you assemble it helps to start from the flag pole out with the figs , I used white glue and added a figure every 1/2 hour , adjusting as I went. The flag 'standing up ' is correct , the only attempted critique of my model , the famous pic proves this out. I replaced the pole with metal , and used .005" plastic card heated and formed for the flag decal. A fun model to build and gets attention on the tables. Good luck!

Giorgio N Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The Vietnam Memorial kit was from Monogram, first issued in 1988, not sure how long it remained in production. As Monogram does not exist anymore, I doubt they'll ever release it again so your only hope to find one is on the second hand market 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vietnam statue 'Three Fighting Men' was issued only once I know of, in 1988. It was a 1/10 snap together kit, and I recall it not fitting all that well. While uncommon, it is not impossible to find on the usual places, like eBay. And I think it is unlikely to be on the current Revell-Monogram company's reissue plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillidragon Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I bought my (Esci) flag wavers as crew for a White Scout Car. A bit extravagant, I know, but I wanted decent 'multipose' figures for that build and they were all I could get at the time. No regrets - turned out well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
