Thanks much for the lead on the book. I have David Doyle's book , but was unaware of the Osprey book. Looking forward to seeing it.

Rory: You've got some good ideas for artwork. Your vehicle will be great fun to see. Our purchase is a father/son deal also. Good to have kids to get us moving on some hobbies.

This is a great thread. Getting some good ideas for art work and equipment for our V-100. Thanks to all who are posting.

Terrific pictures. What sort of missions did you go on with your V-100? We are having a V-100 restored now. It should be done before spring. It will carry the two 50 calibers. Your photos are very helpful for us to get a better idea of some of the nose art found on these vehicles.

Thanks to everyone who gave their input on the colors. Your messages have made us see that owning an historic vehicle comes with more that just having something for fun. We will go with the original colors and do our best to keep the vehicle as close as possible to its VN configuration.

Good thought about restoring it with markings back to its original unit. We'd enjoy that. My son is pretty keen on having it as original as possible. Good for him. I like the tow vehicle. Any idea if these can be driven on a regular driver's license in most places?

The vehicle has been painted with a fresh paint job in that color now. But I have seen pictures of the V100 in camo and prefer it. My question is does...

Thanks vtdeucedriver and dittle for the picture and offer to help with ideas. This has been a sort of a whirlwind project for us. My son has always had an interest in anything military. Funny, it's just about his only serious interest. So a few weeks ago I decided to get an mv. We looked at the...

I don't have a truck/trailer yet. Will need to give some thought towards something appropriate from the same era. Guess the tow vehicle could be made to match the V100. Sorry about no photos. The only ones I have are from the man doing the refurbishment. I haven't asked for his permission to use...

I am a newbie to MV's and to this forum. We are buying a V100 that has a Vietnam history for my 13 year-old son and I to enjoy. We would like to participate in MV preservation events both in Colorado and elsewhere. Our V100 is being completely refurbished and should be ready by February. I'll...
