I would welcome suggestions for figures equipped with radios, for both US and NVA/VC.  Perhaps WW2 US Marines?

Also, I would have liked a bit of a mix for command figures and presume officer figures from Indo-China would pass.   I see in the Indo-China range there is a Senior Officer with binoculars but I don't know if he a Vietminh or French. It is a bit confusing with both nationalites being lumped together.

Hi I have used the Aussie RTO AV3 (hes carrying an SLR but its not too out of place as an M16) I also used one of the US Marines MC10.  One of my commanders came from the Corps too MC6 (paint the gaiters as boots and the thompson black like an M16).  The French para officer VM 27 has also changed sides  :)

VM23 senior officer with binoculars is Viet Minh but looks ok as VC/NVA too

There are some shots of them in the thread I put in the Photo section

Presumably VM22 Radio operator, kneeling, Japanese radio will be OK for the later period?

Many thanks for the suggestions.
