This is the last bit of ‘Nam for a few entries. I wanted to clear out all the vehicles and that is now done . The last item is an M42 Duster - with 2 40mm Bofors . They were originally intended to be used for anti aircraft , but of course there weren’t many to shoot down . However they are capable of making a mess in the ground attack role .
This is a resin and metal kit by Full Metal Miniature - again very nicely cast . It’s a simple enough paint job following my usual recipe .
Points wise it’s :-
1 vehicle and 2 half crew so 25 points to the total and the Neverending Cold War side dual .
This will also put me a third of the way to my target as the first month of the challenge comes along. So bang on target .
Nice little "tank", Dave! I'm sure that will be quite effective at removing cover from suspected VC positions.

That’ll trim back the shrubbery no end Dave. Nice weathering
ReplyDeleteIt will indeed - cheers Peter
DeleteI guess that will pretty similar than the scene in movie Predator, where the one guy gets crazy and cuts down the jungle with machine gun. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd nice paintjob, it clearly shows that you know what you are doing with these vehicles.
That’s kind of how I imagine it
DeleteLovely Duster Dave, especially the weathering and stowage, looks really lived in
ReplyDeleteVery Nice Work!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking M42 - loving this project
ReplyDeleteCheers - more later in the challenge
DeleteLovely work Dave - you've really nailed it with these vehicles. Funny that they had all this ridiculous ordinance but still lost it all in the end.
ReplyDeleteIndeed that’s very true
DeleteOh! The mythical Duster. Excellent paint job. I painted decades (literally) ago the 1/35 Tamiya model. I should take a look to this Full Metal Miniatures definetiveyl
