Master Box Charlie on the left – Vietnam War Series in 1/35th Scale Kit # MB35105
By Shawn Gehling This is their second set in this series and is based on three US Army figures in a Ford Mutt M-151 (Jeep) taking fire from the jungle on the left. It also has two Viet Cong figures that have ambushed the vehicle as is passes. The vehicle is not in the kit. It is the figures only. The Kit: Contains 1 sprue with 61 pieces that have no flash. This set contains five (5) figures two Vietnamese Civilian combatants (Viet Cong) typical to any area during that time frame. (One is directing the ambush and one is hit by enemy fire) most likely not the .50 caliber machine gun as it would cause way more damage. Three US Infantry that can be manning a Fort Mutt (M-151) Jeep (not provided). One is manning the vehicle (pedestal mounted) .50 Caliber machine gun (provided in the kit). One is returning fire with an M-16 machine gun and the third is the driver and can be built two different ways (Variant one the driver of the vehicle ready to get them out of the ambush and variant two is wounded from the ambush). The weapons, uniforms and equipment look accurate. Conclusion: Master Box once again is producing five excellent looking figures all in action poses. Uniforms and equipment are covered in numerous books, so information on these should not be too hard to find. Overall this should build into an outstanding replica and is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys figures. I would like to thank Alexander Surzhenko of Master Box Models for the review kit. Sorry for some reason it won't let me post the pictures, so you will have to follow the link. Shawn

I have the set. The driver fits into the AFVclub M35 series trucks very well. Working to see how he fits in the M548 series, too .

Hi Shawn
Great preview thanks. I have these and the VC figures are outstanding. I reckon MB have a great understanding of the human form.
If you want I can post some photos. I don't have a problem uploading them. Let me know.

Thanks guys, Gatorbait, Thanks for posting what vehicles they fit into... I gave away all my modern jeeps (that is the ones that didn't burn up in the fire) while I was in the Middle East. Just haven't gotten around to buying more modern stuff. I've got more WW-II stuff than I will build in my lifetime right now. Rob, Thanks for trying? You can see them if you go to the photo bucket folder right? Master Box does have a way with their figures. I love how they keep coming out with sets that just fall together into a dio too. Smudge, go ahead an post away... (THANKS) I don't know why my photos don't show up? They are accessible if you go to the Photo-Bucket???
