Italeri 6079 - 1/72 Scale Vietnam War Figures: Vietnamese Army and Vietcong

The Italeri 6079 figure pack depicts a cross section of Vietnamese Army and Vietcong fighters at 1/72 scale, with sculpted detail that reflects the era's uniforms and basic equipment. Several poses show personnel carrying common Soviet-era rifles such as the AK-47 and SKS.

Historical background and modelling interest

This conflict remains a frequent subject for military modellers, and these figures provide authentic-looking subjects for scenes referencing major operations like the Tet Offensive. They are well suited to both solo displays and integrated diorama compositions.

Hints for painting and presentation

Because the kit is 1/72 scale, subtle paintwork and thin washes are effective for bringing out features without obscuring sculpted detail. Consider basing techniques and small scenic elements to enhance each figure within a larger scene.

Product specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene (PS)
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not provided; painting recommended for authenticity
The sculpts aim to reflect period clothing and basic equipment at 1/72 scale. For fine accuracy, compare with photographic references when painting insignia and camo tones.
Standard polystyrene cement or liquid plastic glue works well. Avoid superglues for repositionable joints unless you are certain about placement.
Use fine sand, static grass and small foliage to match Southeast Asian terrain. Painting a thin coat of PVA and applying pigments can add realistic earth tones.
