Why this kit matters

Artillery played a vital role in the Vietnam War, providing crucial fire support to ground troops. U.S. artillery units often operated from hastily constructed firing platforms in the harsh and unforgiving terrain of Vietnam. These platforms were essential for maintaining the accuracy and effectiveness of artillery fire. The conditions in these firebases were often challenging, with soldiers facing constant threats from enemy attacks and the elements.

This model kit allows you to recreate a typical U.S. artillery firing platform from the Vietnam War era in detailed miniature. Building this diorama base provides an engaging and educational experience, allowing you to learn about the challenges faced by artillery crews during the conflict. The finished model serves as a tribute to the soldiers who served in Vietnam and the vital role they played.
