Recreating the Battle of Hue 1968 – 1/35 USMC Diorama from the Vietnam War

In this post, we showcase a large-scale 1/35 diorama recreating the historic Battle of Hue during the Tet Offensive 1968, where United States Marine Corps (USMC) troops fought intense urban battles in Vietnam. This project was fully handcrafted with meticulous details, making it a perfect inspiration for military history enthusiasts and scale modelers.

⚔️ Scene Overview

The diorama depicts USMC Marines storming through a yellow Hue city wall, some troops providing suppressive fire while others are evacuating wounded comrades. In the rear, a crew is operating an M40 recoilless rifle to provide heavy fire support. The scene is completed with authentic Vietnamese city elements — yellow walls, tiled pavement, tropical trees — to bring the streets of Hue 1968 to life.
