I was always fascinated by the Vietnam war theme in military miniatures. I tried my own abilites and interest on this Dragon M274 Mule with 106mm recoilless gun (Catalogue No. 3315). These small cars were widely used for the mobile fire support. I spent much time searching the information on this interesting subject, finally I used the Italian magazine UNIFORMI of 1997, which contained a great photo session of Mule with 106mm gun, as well as on Ford Mutt M151.

I added some details to my Mule in accordance with the photos but the kit detailing is quite good. The base for the vignette is made of plaster, and I did not made a frame this time. The ground works are different spices of roots, moss, hemp and paper leafs. The figures are taken out of the box, I just added resin Afro head to the driver, and gave a shortened version of M16 to the gunner. The shell case is from the sprue. Dragon gave these guys too little ammo, while in real the Mules carried tons of equipment.
