U.S.M.P. On Duty – 716th MP Battalion, Vietnam War

Model: VN175

Scale: 1/30

Finish: Matte

This highly detailed figure represents a U.S. Army Military Policeman from the 716th MP Battalion during the Vietnam War, tasked with patrolling and securing key installations in the Saigon, Cholon, and Tan Son Nhut areas. Wearing a crisp, fully-buttoned flak jacket and a polished MP helmet bearing his unit markings, this soldier stands alert with M16 rifle in hand and a holstered Colt M1911 .45 sidearm at his hip. The 716th MP Battalion played a crucial role in defending strategic targets such as the U.S. Embassy and the MACV Headquarters during the TET Offensive of 1968. This figure is an ideal companion piece for the MP version of the M151 “Mutt” jeep (VN142), or as a standalone depiction of military order and discipline in wartime Vietnam.
