Dragon 1/35 U.S. 1st Cavalry

Description:

This 1/35 scale figure set from Dragon Models (Kit No. 3312) represents soldiers of the legendary U.S. 1st Cavalry Division during the Vietnam War—one of the most iconic air-mobile units of the conflict. Known for operations such as the Battle of Ia Drang, these troops helped redefine modern warfare with helicopter-based tactics.

The kit includes four figures in realistic combat poses, wearing jungle fatigues and equipped with period-correct gear such as M16 rifles and field equipment. The sculpting captures the relaxed but alert posture typical of infantry operating in dense terrain.

Dragon’s molding quality delivers sharp detail and natural poses, making this set ideal for Vietnam dioramas, especially when paired with Huey helicopters, light armor, or jungle basework.
