Hi all , This is one of my updated North Vietnamese Army troops , or more commonly known as the NVA . Normally better equipped than the Vietcong . They were led by very clever generals , often only taking on the Americans when it was in their favour , often hitting the American units hard and fast and then disappearing into the bush which they were very good at , note the U.S parachute cloth in the pith helmet net . He is kitted out for humping the Ho Chi Minh trail , as they often went into battle carrying much less . He has his ration rice tube tucked in behind his ruck . Mostly up graded 21st stuff .

You have obviously really studied this conflict and the equipment of all involved combatants. Your marvelous posts are like history lessons conveyed through action figures!
I would not have wanted to be fighting against guys like this.
Cheers Dave , I did wonder if I waffled on to much . Thanks for reading my waffle , and I am very grateful for the kind comments you make .

Very nicely done figure, Chip, and by all means, keep waffling on. I always appreciate the context and like to know more about the figures and the conflict.
Thanks!
