VIETNAM INFANTRY 2
 | | 1) Combat Assault 1 | |
 | | 2) Combat Assault 2 | | The coloured bands on the edge of the bases can be seen clearly here. Yellow ochre is an officer, and red & black is a radio operator. |

 | | 4) Combat Assault 4 | | Slicks spread out on the LZ. |
 | | 5) Combat Assault 5 | |
 | | 6) Village | |
 | | 7) Patrol & Buddha | | The buddha is a plastic Christmas cracker trinket, stuck to a piece of foamboard and painted. A bit of flock gives a mossy effect. |
 | | 8) Patrol & Buddha 2 | |
 | | 9) SF Patrol | | Special Forces prowl through a ruined building. The one on the right is wearing tiger stripe and carrying an M870 Shotgun, and the M16 rifleman on the left wears a woodland camo jacket, headscarf and face camo. |
 | | 10) ARVN 1 | | ARVN move to engage Viet Cong emerging from the treeline on the other side of the village. |
 | | 11) ARVN 2 | | Note the distinctive spotted camo, known as Duckhunter. Initially ARVN were equipped mostly in olive drab, but later a variety of different camouflage patterns became common, including tiger stripe, duckhunter and a number of woodland variants. |
 | | 12) ARVN 3 | | This patrol is accompanied by a Green Beret, who can be seen on the right hand side of the hut using his radio to call for support fire. |
