The detail is amazing.

Many thanks to you all.

Yes 'Sam' it was a lot of pretty tedious work tbh and I walked away from them for a couple of months but once I got my mojo back it finished quite quickly.

I had a personla painting plan at the start of the year to walk away from Vietnam and paint something more colourful than shades of green. AWI, AZW, ECW etc but painted Cold War stuff and so more green then found myself back in the Nam with even more green

M42 Duster.

Love the Duster! Before my dad was Regular Army and in Special Forces he was in an AAA unit in the National Guard deployed to Korea in the 50's and was assigned to an M-16 (quad 50's on a 5 ton truck) and then Dusters when they came around. He had a special place in his heart for this little beasty (they had named theirs BEER RUN after an infamous incident that took speed) and one year I was lucky enough to get him a ride on an operational one for a parade.
Really well done model, especially the brass on the back deck.

For all the interservice rivalry between the Army and the Corps, those babies
sure were welcome at Khe Sanh. Paul, I don't think you could replicate
the Duster any better. Loved it! Glad you changed your plans and are
staying "Vietnam Green." :-)
Great piece of work. Thanks for sharing.
Sam
