Charlie on the left!

It's great taking a week off - I get to finish models! I got the Masterbox 1/35 scale "Charlie on the Left!" in part because of the box art. Masterbox really does a great job with dynamic figure poses:



I combined it with the Academy M151A1 kit. The Academy kit was an uneventful build. The Masterbox figures took a lot longer, mainly because there was no way of getting the .50 ca gunner to fit. I did some plastic surgery until he fit OK, and called it a day. Not the most accurate super detailed job, but I think it came out OK. I didn't build the two VC figures from the kit.








The uniform colors are off and their gear doesn't quite match the boxtop. The uniforms aren't as crisp as I would have liked. I was tempted to replace them with some DML Marines, but that would have involved yet more plastic surgery.

Awesome job! Their box art is great, the figures can be less so, but the poses are fantastic! I have that set, fated for a not really Real World Vietnam diorama...
