VIETNAM SOLDIERS
By: LT.


USMC Drill Instructor

I spruced up the TUS DI uni by making a working belt buckle and by adding belt loops, buttons and ribbons.



MAC-V Advisor, Vietnam circa 1963.







First Lieutenant Wallace wears an Ultimate Soldier Uni with my own custom badges including jump wings and the Combat Infantryman's Badge on his left chest, 1st LT. and crossed rifles on his collars, his equivalent Vietnamese rank, Trung Uy, centered on his chest and on his left shoulder a Ranger Tab and MAC-V patch. A belt was created from black webbing and brass and threaded through belt loops that I added to his pants. The web gear, M1 carbine and helmet are from Dragon with a chain keeper added to the canteen lid. Lastly, his black boots are from Hasbro. Those with Kevin Lyles' book on Vietnam Unis may recognize this guy.



Awesome work again LT ! Two sharp looking Vietnam era soldiers for sure. You've done some terrific work on them buddy...keep it up:) Special thanks for sending these in and sharing them with us trooper. -- GL
