History:
During the Vietnam War era, much of the country’s population continued to engage in traditional farming practices despite the surrounding conflict. The rural landscape of Vietnam in the 1960s and 70s was defined by rice paddies, hand tools, and water buffalo-powered carts, which remained central to everyday life in villages across the region.
This set from Gecko Models captures that contrast — a quiet moment of agrarian life within a theatre of war. Civilian farmers and their animals coexisted alongside advancing armies, supply convoys, and combat operations, making such scenes common yet poignant. Integrating this set into a Vietnam War diorama introduces a compelling human element and enriches the storytelling of any display.
Whether you’re recreating the tranquillity of village life or juxtaposing civilian scenes with military activity, this kit offers rich potential for modellers focused on realism and historical context.
