CORGI UNSUNG HEROES - VIETNAM

Описание: The initial intention behind this video was to showcase some of the Corgi 'Unsung Heroes' diecast range of helicopters and aircraft that featured in the Vietnam War. These aircraft are the Huey UH-1E and Cobra AH-1G helicopters and the F-4 Phantom fighter jet. These models feature in the video. However we decided to expand the video with pretty much anything else that was Vietnam War related for a way more expansive and diverse video.

Some of the vehicles in the video are kit built, some are diecast. Here is a breakdown -

This Soviet Mil transport helicopter was not actually utilised by the Viet Cong but was flown by Soviet and Chinese forces for 'propaganda purposes' during the conflict. That was enough for us - "It qualifies - it's going in."

** These US infrantry men are actually WW2 scuplts, but were painted with an all green uniform to match the US soldiers of Vietnam.
