King & Country Vietnam catalog reference
VN051 “Aussies on Patrol” This latest 4-man set comprises four terrific add-on figures to the first five. Leading the way is a kneeling Aboriginal soldier of ‘The Royal Australian Regiment’ holding his M16 in one hand and signalling silently to his mates that the ‘enemy is in sight’. Another kneeling soldier nearby lifts his L1A1 SLR to his shoulder and prepares to engage the enemy. Meanwhile the remaining two soldiers move stealthily forward to take up fire positions as they await the remainder of the 9-man patrol to follow up. AUSTRALIAN REINFORCEMENTS Last July, K&C launched the first 5 “Aussies in Vietnam” figures... One set of 4 making up part of a fighting patrol plus a single patrol commander figure to celebrate 10 years of our Annual Visits Down Under to meet our dealers and talk to our collectors in that part of the world. I am happy to report that these new ‘fighting Aussies’ proved a big hit not only in Australia but around the world with other K&C collectors... Especially those who were already collecting our ‘Vietnam Marines’! And so, as soon as I returned from Australia, work immediately began on additional Australian ‘Vietnam War’ troops... And here are the next batch of Aussies...
