1:32 Vietnam
Fellows,
has anyone ever wonder why 21st and/or other companies do not expand their 1:32 scale lines by adding a 1:32 Vietnam series. I would definitely love that! especially if they use some of the already preexisting diorama pieces and add some 1:32 nam figures, vehicles and extra diorama pieces.
What do you guys think about this idea?
I know a lot of people don't like nam stuff but again, as separate series it may also sell....in 1:32 scale...for diorama and playability options.

I would like to see it, or at the very least a set of pre-painted Vietnam soldiers so that my 21c 32x M-113 can have some passengers. In pre-assembled 1:32 scale, we currently have four items from the Vietnam period: 32x M-113, FOV M-60 (albeit with some modifications), BBI F-4, BBI F-104 (upcoming). Not bad, but we could really use some figures and a Huey

That makes two of us. I only have one that I got from another board member because for some reason it didn't sing to me when it came out. I think it may be 21Cs best 1/32 piece. AND it is cold steel and feels darn good in the hand.Rowsdower wrote:I wish they would re-release the M-113.
There are only two pieces they haven't re-released; the M-113 and the Walker Bulldog. I wonder why?

Simple reason, 21c's bad business practices (also helped by Wal Mart) caused them to default on their payments to the Chinese factories, which then withheld the mouldsolifant wrote:Rowsdower wrote:There are only two pieces they haven't re-released; the M-113 and the Walker Bulldog. I wonder why?
Both tanks would be great to re-release. I have the M-113 and agree it is one of 21c's best armor pieces. After all, its diecast and has a full detailed interior and engine compartment that are even more detailed than the 1:18 scale M-113 I would also love to get the Bulldog. I once bought on original OD green one, but then decided I didn't like it and returned the darn thing. In retrospect, I shouldn't have done that...

You guys are talking mostly armor here. Yeah I would like to see a Walker Bulldog, Duece and a Half, Mutt, even a Gunboat.
How about some 1/32 Hueys, Cobras, Chinooks, even a Skycrane carrying a Howitzer?
Puff the Magic Dragon C-47?
I'm dreaming again.
