That looks great! What an evil grin coming at the LZ.

I had a buddy that passed away a while back who was in a PACV crew during Vietnam. He said when people, even other sailors would ask him what it was, the crew just normally said it was their UFO and left it at that. He had some pretty good stories, at least those he was willing to share.

Excellent work!

I must admit that I knew very little about the U.S. Navy air cushion patrol craft and had no idea that the Army operated them. Even though they were operating in Vietnam at the same time I was there, I never saw one or heard about them since I was on the coast of the Mekong Delta and the Army ACVs were being operated in the Plain of Reeds along the Cambodian border.

I'm glad to learn about these vessels and to see your outstanding model of the Quai Vat develop.

Thank you for the comments. I hope you can overlook the somewhat dubious build skills. Although i freely admit it is not the prettiest display of building, I am extremely happy with how it is coming together.

Looks very good to my eye.

Your build looks pretty good to me also.
