Thanks Mikey, it was a choice between CWGH & AV at the time which was decied with the GHQ stuff i had to go with CWGH and made me wonder with the sheer size of AV book that i was missing out. Plus i was watching a Vietnam documentary which showed just how brave those Huey pilots were flying into Cambodia, bullets striking windshields but they still went back in...got to wait until end of May but ive ordered The Killing Zone to get some inspiration .Thanks again Mikey

Being that I game every thing in 1/285th I can tell you that there are two versions of the V150 be carefull when you order for the turrets and insure you get the GHQ version from the Nam range...as one version has a more modern turret that isnt right for CG turret on the Aussie M113....Hopefully you live some where there is a lot of small scale gaming going on , if you do one money saving method is to cast you own parts out of green stuff. There is a product called InstantMold (not to be confused with Insta mold)that you just place in hot water when its soft you just make a mold of the part you need. Cast it using green stuff let dry for 24-48 hours and viola and the mold material is reuseable so you can cast tires ,stowage and weapons over and over again it wont stick to any material not even crazy glue just drop it into hot water and use again...you can find it on Amazon for between 7 and 12 USD it comes in near transparent sheets the size of a stick of gum 6 to a pack. By using Green stuff you can file drill and shape the parts to make unique versions of vehicles with stowage and spare tires . so you can finaly get those Lav 25s looking lived in....Mikey

I second the GHQ stuff. If you want to add Hueys to your force though, look at the CinC models. They have seperate cargo doors so you can show them opened or leave them off. Maybe Mikey can suggest a door gunner arrangement. I have yet to experiment with that. I did find that the CinC M-151 has a standing gunner at the M-60 where the GHQ model only has a driver, so that might make a difference as well. I learn as I go on this stuff.
