Why Does Nobody Make South Vietnamese?

It would seem that common sense if nothing else would have someone make ARVN tank crew figures.

Well for now the ARVN 113 crew figures are the best you can do… and they will work. But yeah, some proper ARVN tank crew would be nice.

B&L models made ARVN kit name “Tet offensive 1968”

thank you for show us these figures but most of them are South Vietnamese civilians or Americans. There is only one group of figures that represents the former South Vietnamese army (Army Republic Vietnam, ARVN). i suspect that even though Vietnam is a more open society that people are not allowed to talk about the war in detail, Bao Ninh’s Book was banned in Vietnam as he criticized the government and military during the war, although you could buy his book “The Sorrow of War” in English but not Vietnamese.
If you want to find out how the South Vietnamese soldiers were treated after the war you should read “Where the Orange Blossoms” by Thomas Taylor. As for the hill tribes, the montagnards, well they were used and abused by the North and the South Vietnamese, look up FULRO.
anyway, i will stop now as this is getting political and i never wanted that to happen.

i am glad that someone in Vietnam has produce some South Vietnamese figures at last, i hope they make more of them, tank crews, people riding on trucks and tanks as well, that would be nice.

Which reminds me of one of my posts in a different topic:
"
Borrowing a phrase from some TV-series :
“Like a 10 inch d*ck, I need to see it to believe it”

Good to know that wikipedia wasn’t wrong about 8 inches,
still way too much centipede for comfort …
