The next member of the company command. Armed with a salvaged blooper gun. He is wearing a camouflage cape fashioned from a US parachute.

I was looking for that image as I recognised the figures prototype.

Same here, I knew I'd seen the figure before or at least I thought had.

The Real Thing!

Not the name of a movie, but instead….. the real thing. Catherine Leroy (French photographer) took a series of colour stills during her short time with the NVA in Hue. Very lucky not have been executed out of hand, esp as not all the bad guys wanted their images broadcast (many had been undercover in Hue). Curiously being French was in her favour. Google will tell you far more, show more pics and take you to her article in Life or was it Time?
