The M151A1 was widely used by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps from 1959 through the early 1990s and saw extensive deployment in Vietnam. This A1 variant featured a revised rear suspension and added turn signals, and many vehicles were adapted for roles from weapon carriage to casualty transport.

Yes. The decal sheet supplies markings for both U.S. Army and Marine Corps finishes, enabling you to choose the service and unit style you prefer without additional purchases.
Use light washes, drybrushing and subtle pigment work to simulate mud and wear seen on Vietnam-era vehicles. Focus on wheel wells, lower body panels and around fittings to keep the look authentic.
Popular upgrades include adding stowage items, radio aerials, or aftermarket resin bits for finer detail. These extras can enhance realism but are optional depending on the level of detail you want.
