During the Vietnam War, the US military constructed semi permanent and temporary buildings across its bases to house soldiers and support personnel. These dormitories were simple wooden or prefabricated structures designed for rapid assembly in hot and humid environments. Though basic, they became an integral part of daily life for troops stationed in Southeast Asia, offering rest and respite from combat duties. This model pays tribute to the infrastructure that supported American forces throughout the conflict.

This 1/35 scale kit from Gecko Models accurately depicts temporary dormitory buildings used on US Army bases during the Vietnam War era. These structures, commonly referred to as barracks or hooches, were essential components of military installations, providing basic accommodation for troops in the field.

The set includes detailed structural components to assemble a complete dormitory building with accurate walls, roof, doors, and windows. The interior features realistic furniture such as cots, lockers, footlockers, and personal equipment. Optional accessories like stairs, railings, and exterior details enhance the realism. It’s perfect as a standalone display or part of a larger Vietnam War base diorama.
