Did anyone ever step out of those rear doors while the propeller was engaged ? Ouch

Looks like an interesting alternative to Hobby Link’s resin version.

I guess the doors size didn’t help either

Hello!
Looks like a really big radio rack:
But no antenna… Can somebody comment on that?
Have a nice day

or a really small vehicle …
I have rarely seen antenna fitted in the few period pics I have but there seems to be at least 3 antenna bases visible on the vehicle…

Hi Bill,
I agree with you - hopefully, Gecko’s is more affordable. Interestingly, both companies messed up the water can:
Hobby Link’s:
Gecko’s:
Gecko’s
- The cross looks too narrow. 2. Q.M.C. marking ones are used for WWII, Korean War era gas cans and not water cans in the VN War era. 3. Instead, the “US” marking should be used. See the reference photos: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334477382525

Thanks for that, I don’t think anyone makes proper VN War jerry cans. The Gecko one looks off for sure, and overall I think the Hobby Link kit looks superior, though the price is probably higher than the Gecko kit (who knows, however, their Saigon tuktuk kit is $40. If this kit hits $60, then the Hobby Link kit isn’t so far out of reach.

Hi Bill,
I believe I have the proper VN War version water and gas can CADs for 3D printing.
I think you may be right that the price difference between Gecko’s and Hobby Link’s may not be too much. I have a feeling that Gecko will price it somewhere around 60-70 USD.

I don’t know how proper the ones from Legend are. I’ve never studied them that closely, but found them to be superior to kit plastic ones.
