Taking Care of a Buddy

Taking Care of a Buddy – Vietnam War Diorama Set
Model: VN179
Scale: 1/30
Finish: Matte

Inspired by a powerful and emotional photograph captured by U.S. Army photographer John Olson during the TET Offensive of 1968, this two-figure set depicts a wounded Marine being cradled by a comrade in the aftermath of intense urban combat in Hue. Rendered with extraordinary realism, the figure on the ground bears bandaged chest wounds and a bloody leg, while his brother-in-arms supports him with visible concern and care. Originally shown in Olson’s LIFE magazine photo atop an M48 tank, these figures can be displayed on the ground or placed on one of King & Country’s Vietnam-era vehicles. This set pays tribute to the brotherhood, sacrifice, and human cost of war in a moment frozen in time.
