Nam Phong RTAFB Vietnam, Late 60's Scenery. A model of Nam
Phong RTAFB as it appeared in mid-1972 when much of it was still
under construction. Nam Phong was originally an obscure Thai
Air Force training base located about 60 miles south-southeast
of the large USAF/Air America facility at Udorn. In response
to increasing NVA attacks in the Central Highlands of South
Vietnam, the US Marine Corps transferred three fighter/attack
squadrons (known as “Task Force Delta”) from Da Nang to Nam
Phong. A new 10,000 ft. concrete runway was built, and roads,
aircraft parking and housing/storage areas were hacked out of
the jungle by a joint USN/USMC engineering team. Nam Phong was
nicknamed “the Rose Garden” in jest due to the extremely primitive
conditions that existed there when the Marines first arrived.
The nickname was borrowed from the Marine Corps advertising
slogan, "We don't promise you a rose garden", which in turn
was inspired by the lyrics of a popular country & western song
by Lynn Anderson. The three USMC fighter/attack squadrons that
took up permanent residence at Nam Phong were the VMFA-115 “Silver
Eagles”, the VMFA-232 “Red Devils”, and the VMA(AW) -533 “Nighthawks”.

Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base Vietnam, Late 60's Scenery.
A model of Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (NKP). Situated
in the far northeast corner of Thailand right across the Mekong
River from Laos, NKP was the smallest, remotest, and most primitive
of the Thai airbases utilized by the US Air Force. Many of the
operations that were conducted at NKP were top-secret. NKP was
the headquarters of “Task Force Alpha”, the underground command
center directing “Arc Light” bombing of the Ho Chi Minh trail.
The 56th Air Commando Wing employed a variety of fixed wing
aircraft and helicopters for interdiction, close air support,
psychological warfare, search and rescue, forward air control,
and clandestine insertion and extraction of special operations
personnel in Laos and North Vietnam. One of the key covert missions
conducted at NKP was “Operation Igloo White”, which involved
the planting and monitoring of electronic sensors along the
Ho Chi Minh trail. Air America also used NKP as a base to supply
the various hill tribes in Laos. Note: This scenery requires

Takhli RTAFB Vietnam, Late 60's Scenery. An upgraded model
of Takhli RTAFB as it appeared in the late 1960s at the height
of the Vietnam War. During those years, Takhli was the home
of the USAFs 355th Tactical Fighter Wing, which flew F-105 Thunderchiefs
and RB/EB-66 Destroyers. A large number of KC-135 tankers were
also stationed at Takhli. In December 1970 the 355th TFW was
deactivated and the airbase was closed. However, Takhli was
reopened in April 1972 and served as a major base of combat
operations during the Linebacker I and II campaigns. This is
the fourth in a series of upgraded Vietnam War era Thai airbase
models. The assistance of ?Bangkok Bob? Vaughn and other Takhli
veterans in constructing this model is sincerely appreciated.
