Vietnam Coastal Junk (1:48)
by: Frederick Boucher | Vendor: Monogram
Certainly not considered junk by modelers and collectors, this third of a trio of Monogram’s (now Revell-Monogram) late 1960’s series of Vietnam War 1/48 boat models is a unique addition to one’s collection. Monogram’s other two 1/48 offerings, the RAG (River Assault Group)boat and the Swift Boat, have been reissued over the years but not, to my knowledge, the Coastal Junk Off Shore Surveillance Boat. Be prepared to pay a choice price if you find one.
