The NVA used T-62s? Were there any NVA specific fittings like on their T-55s? One would be a nice addition to my 1.35 NVA... as small as that is... ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Now I see where you’re going with this. A piece of “friendly” equipment dressed up for training purposes to look like a piece of potential enemy equipment. What the US Army calls a VISMOD for OPFOR use. Back in the day at Ft Irwin they had scores of M551 Sheridans modified with fiberglass fittings to look like T-72s, BMP-1s, 2S1s and ZSU-23/4s… it was quite a site to see when they would attack in full strength across that desert floor…
Beautiful work on this project I must say!
