History: During the Vietnam War era, the urban and rural landscapes of South Vietnam were filled with a variety of locally adapted riding vehicles. From bicycles and mopeds to simple motorised carts, these vehicles played an essential role in daily life, especially for transport and trade. Capturing this aspect of civilian life helps modellers depict a more complete and human element of Vietnam-era settings beyond the battlefield.
