I need to find a company that produces either NVA or VC in combat poses. I know Dragon makes a kit, but I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks,
Roger

There's a guy in Weatherford or Mineral Wells, Texas who makes exactly what you want. I don't know the name of his company but I think you'll find it on Tony Matelliano's site.

A quick search on
http://www.greatmodels.com found these kits:

ADV/Azimut #az35221, ADV/Azimut #az35266, and
DML/Dragon Models #dr3304

All are VC, Viet Minh, or similar.

Besides DML which does the very rare and out of production, Sappers the other company that I know off with action poses is Verlinden. Here't their website in the US.

Discountmodels may have the Verlinden ones, at least they were there when I last checked. No luck on the sappers though.

Hey, is that DML VC Sappers kit that rare??? I got one of those kits in trade a couple years ago..... and it's on display with the rest of my DML 'Nam figures......I just wasn't aware that it's that hard to come by.

this is 1/35 scale

Up for auction here is DRAGON KIT #3304, 1/35 SCALE "NAM" SERIES VIET CONG. Box is open but all parts appear to be present.

A friend's husband recently passed away & left her, among other things, his collection of 500+ unbuilt plastic models. He built primarily German armor in 1/35th scale, although there are some Allied & Modern mixed in, and even a few ships, aircraft and cars. I will be helping her liquidate this collection in the coming months, hopefully listing a new batch of items every few days, so please do check back often. In addition to the models, there is an extensive collection of magazines that will also be auctioned off.
