Gecko Models 35GM0107 60s-70s Farming in Vietnam 1/35

Gecko Models 35GM0107 60s-70s Farming in Vietnam is a detailed model kit in 1/35 scale, allowing you to recreate a scene of rural life in Vietnam during the 1960s and 70s. This plastic assembly model transports the modeller to a time of profound social and political change during the Cold War and the Vietnam War, offering a realistic depiction of a typical agricultural scene from that era.

The set includes:

• 2 highly detailed Vietnamese farmers in authentic period clothing
• 2 naturalistically rendered water buffalo – an essential element of Vietnamese agriculture
• 1 precisely replicated traditional plough
• Detailed, illustrated assembly instructions to make building the model easy even for beginner enthusiasts

All parts are made from high-quality plastic, ensuring sharp details while also allowing for easy handling and painting. The figures of people and animals stand out with realistically sculpted poses, facial expressions, and movements, greatly increasing the authenticity of the finished diorama.

Historically, the set depicts an everyday scene from the northern and southern regions of Vietnam in the turbulent period from 1960 to 1979. Agriculture in this region relied mainly on manual labor aided by draft animals, especially during the times of war and post-war reconstruction, when the development of agricultural machinery was limited. The use of water buffalo and simple wooden ploughs played a key role in providing food for the local population.

The Gecko Models 35GM0107 set is recommended both for history enthusiasts and for those building elaborate dioramas from the Vietnam War period or themed scenes from Southeast Asia. It’s a perfect original addition to rural scenes or civilian diorama elements—not just military ones. We rate the assembly difficulty as 2/5 thanks to clear instructions and high-quality parts. It's an excellent choice for intermediate and beginner modellers looking to expand their collections.
