Have a large glass of an alcoholic beverage, put your feet up, be patient and people will get around to answering your post in good time :D

Anyway as far as I know the Soviet Union uniform didn't change a great deal from the start of WW2 until today even, due to the size of the army and the conditions of Russia. I am pretty sure that set would pass muster just fine, actually of all the figures in the set I would say the one you highlighted is the most likely to be accurate during Vietnam.

Go for it my friend, use him :th:

I just did a quick search both on the net and in my own library and I'd have to agree with Dan.
You should be fine using them XVI.

Wow . . . this place really is a safe haven for all model builders. It's like Rivendell, sanctuary for wayward model building travelers. Does that make Lee and Paul Elvish? :nena:

I have few more questions, i was thinking to put a beret on that guy head but is that correct and which color will be ( i was thinking light blue).?
Or to put some other hat, or put had with just hair.?
And which color to use for his uniform maybe Vallejo 094 Russian Uniform ?
I hope that is all. :scratch::
