Star Decals 35-C1253 Vietnam 3 1/35 – Water-slide Decals for ARVN Vehicle Models

Star Decals 35-C1253 Vietnam 3 in 1/35 scale is a set of high-quality water-slide decals dedicated to modelers who wish to faithfully recreate vehicles of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) from the Vietnam War era. The set includes precisely printed historical markings and painting schemes intended for vehicles such as:

• M113A1 – an amphibious armored personnel carrier widely used by the South Vietnamese army in patrol and combat operations
• M113 with recoilless rifle – a fire support version providing better firepower against jungle fortifications
• M132 Zippo – an anti-infantry vehicle equipped with a flamethrower, known for effectively neutralizing enemy positions in dense vegetation

The set is based on authentic documentation and archival photos from the 1960s and 1970s, reflecting the genuine insignia and markings used on ARVN vehicles during the intense fighting of the Vietnam War era. The included designs feature not only original registration numbers, stars, and national symbols, but also unique elements such as slogans and unit recognition signs.

The decals are made of thin, flexible material that perfectly conforms to irregular surfaces of 1/35 scale plastic models. The print is characterized by high resolution, accurate color reproduction, and sharpness even in the smallest details, enabling a professional final effect. Thanks to the use of the latest printing technology, the decals do not silver and work exceptionally well with decal solutions. The set does not include model kits – it only contains the decal sheet and a placement instruction guide.
