ICM 48303 FORWARD BASE takes modelers to the hot zones of Southeast Asia, where forward airfield complexes close to the frontline allowed for rapid response to threats and support for ground units. OV-10A Bronco aircraft were initially used for reconnaissance and artillery spotting but were later also employed as attack aircraft. At the same time, the AH-1G Cobra provided firepower and support, earning the nickname "airborne artillery" for its longevity and durability on the battlefield. Both vehicles could operate from the same forward bases, such as the well-known Da Nang. Their presence was crucial to American military strategy.

The ICM 48303 set is an elite choice for aviation modeling enthusiasts, allowing the creation of a realistic Vietnam War diorama. It is perfect for intermediate and advanced modelers seeking a challenge and keen historical realism. Suitable for both collectors and fans of military aviation history.
