The home for Malaysian scale modellers
Malaysia’s Infantry Fighting Vehicle (MIFV) played an important role as part of the U.N. peacekeeping force in Bosnia.
The MIFV is derived from the Korean Infantry Fighting Vehicle, KIFV or otherwise known as the K-200.
This is a quick look at Tamiya’s kit no MM240 consisting of 2 bicycles and 4 figures. The kit was obviously a rebundle of an earlier figure with bicycle set which was later enhanced with new mold of the 2 german soldiers either pushing or riding the bicycle.
This is a 120mm historical figure from Verlinden (kit #0802) title "Japanese Warrior Ca.1600". Base on history reference, this warrior (simplified armour) look more like an Ashigaru rather than a Samurai class.
Introduction
Here is a subject matter you don’t often see featured by most kit makers if at all but one which was nevertheless an important facet of the Vietnam conflict, the Army Republic of Vietnam or ARVN Rangers. Dragon has arguably the widest selection of Vietnam era figures covering both American as well as the Vietnamese forces with a healthy sprinkling of even indigenous forces in between. As such the production of this set complements well if not almost completing their substantial lineup of Vietnam era figures.
Among the various campaigns that the Rangers participated in Dragon has chosen Saigon circa 1968 during the Tet Offensive as the setting for this kit.
