5TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP
MAC-V ADVISOR

By: Robert Foley


These are my 5th SF Group MAC-V Advisor, Republic of Viet Nam, circa 1968. The fig is a Hasbro GI Joe with a 21st C. Infantry Jungle Fatigues uni set and a 21st C. Green Beret. Pretty much straight forward, except that I put this together as a donation to a raffle at a local VFW post last weekend. The punch line is, the fella that won this piece was a Vietnamese Nung who actually fought with a Special Forces A-team in Viet Nam in 1968. I thought this to be a very interesting coincidence. Needless to say, I was very happy that this guy got a very good home.























Terrific looking soldier here for sure Robert! All that gear looks really cool on that old blockhead Joe. Neat story about the raffle too. Special thanks for sending this one in and sharing it with all of us. - GL
