Vietnam/ Indochina additions

[Dannyboy]

Hi looking through the lists I notice there are'nt any Viet Minh/ Viet Cong casualty figures, could there be a pack of say a variety of figs in peasant/ regular kit?
Also any chance of Vietnamese porters pushing loads on bycicles?

Generic 4 man stretcher poarty that would pass in 10mm for Vietnam, Indochine and WW2 Pacific, thinking of somethang along these lines.

And any chance of French irregulars/ paras in bush hats and caps. (Plate D2 The French Indochina War, Osprey)

(I'm thinking we can possibly get away with using the Moors in winter dress from the SCW line, mixed with Americans in Ardennes uniforms as Morrocan Goumiers.)


Many thanks

Forgot to also ask for amphibious crabs for the french. Maybe one as a waterline model and one full kit, also some crew in shorts and bush hats.

Cheers,

Loving the idea of a crew pack in shorts and slouch hat, however Pithead (can I say that on here?  ) do a Weasel which should do the trick, although there is no waterline option.

Thanks Danny,

I may just take a peek at that.

The only problem with the Pithead Weasel is that it is not the amphibious version and you'd have to add flotation tanks. The Pithead model looks like the M29 on the left but for Indochina, you need the M29C which is on the right:

Just decided to go with Pendraken for my new Vietnam project. The current range seems to have some glaring gaps and was wondering if there are any plans to expand it?

Would love to see the following added -

Casualties and medics
Radio operators
More helicopters
More softskins
VC/NVA with LPD LMGs
VC/NVA Type 57 HMG
US and NVA recoilless rifles
Another M60 pose
Vietnamese Sampans and fishing boats

Does anyone know if the Tu Ve and Chu Luc models in the Indo China range have "coolie" hats?
