a vietnam list synthesis of what's comming and maybe needed
« on: March 05, 2021, 01:36:00 am »
Hi everyone,

I am so glad RM is about to release vietnam vehicules kit range that I don't know how to wait quietly for the due kits. So before to be able to buy them online I would like to share with you a little synthesis of what is comming and what I would like the most in terms of building my armies for a team yankee like 28mm wargame :
Up to now we have for US and NZ
  • M113 ACAV and M113A1
  • M106
  • M163
  • M577
  • Ford MUTT
  • M40 gun
  • Mule
  • Sheridan
  • huey
  • Centurion mk5
  • V100

For North Vietnam we already have
  • T54B
  • BTR60

In My Opinion we are lacking for vietnam :
for USA
  • M48
  • hueycobra
for North vietnam
  • PT76
  • BRDM2
  • ZU23
  • ZU57 AA guns
  • SAM7 with zill 157

For the future would be glad to have more PLASTIC eighties stuff for cold war area wargame NATO vs varsaw pact :
for NATO
  • M60A1
  • M1
  • Leopard 1A3
  • chieftain
  • AMX30
  • ATM tow
  • marder 1
  • FV432
  • AMX10
  • VAB
  • scorpion/scimitar
  • landrover
for varsaw pact
  • T62
  • T72
  • ATM sagger
  • BMP1
  • HIND A/B
But that's an other story for the future which will rely on the size of the market and so on the volume of the sales of vietnam stuff I presume (or of the competitors of RM who knows)

For me the m48 is a must have and pretty sure its in the works.

Another couple of suggestions the first would need a new turret and twin 37mm that could be added to the already available t34 hull



This one would be a complete new kit but does have other potential uses versions

yes Somtec the BTR-40 is really a good idea. It could be used for korean war too.
and the T34 AA option is attracting too.
