Sandbag Bunker

About the Vietnam War US Bunker

A key element of the United States' military strategy during the Vietnam War was to seek out and eliminate units of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong guerrillas infiltrating South Vietnam. To support these operations, a network of semi-permanent Fire Support Bases was established throughout the country. Many of these bases were located in remote areas and relied on helicopters or truck convoys for supplies.

Defensive bunkers and fortified outposts surrounded these bases. In the most isolated locations, these fortifications were often improvised using whatever materials were available, including plywood, corrugated steel, fuel drums, and, of course, countless sandbags.

The Vietnam War US Sandbag Bunker is inspired by numerous historical photographs of these improvised defensive positions, featuring a sandbag-protected machine gun emplacement on the roof. The kit includes a unique sentry with a custom 3D-printed rain poncho and a Perfect Caliber™ BrickArms® M60 machine gun. The bunker also features multiple custom-printed elements throughout the model and is topped with a fabric/paper American flag.
