The US Infantry Airmobile force. 3 Platoons with the HQ platoon. There is a fourth platoon awaiting completion but I'm waiting for replacement figs from Battlefront.

Overview of the entire PAVN force.
The figures paint up well but I am pretty disappointed in the quality of the figures. Some were miscast pretty bad and quite a few had the ends of their rifles broken off while in the packaging, especially the M16's on the US figures. That doesn't make me happy considering the price you pay for Battlefront's miniatures. To add insult to injury since the figures were a "limited production" item and are no longer being made it takes forever to find replacement figures for damaged ones. I can only imagine the typical gamer who buys lead and puts it away for a few years then finally gets around to working on a Vietnam project being really frustrated with the condition of the figures and the difficulty in getting replacements.
The figures (and more) are back in (regular) production now !
