Gecko Models 1:35 60-70'S Saigon Shuttle Motor-Tricycle Depot Plastic Model Kit

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Saigon’s bustling streets were alive with the hum of motor tricycles, a vital form of transport for locals and visitors alike. Often used as shuttle taxis, these three wheeled vehicles ferried passengers through narrow alleys and dense traffic, embodying the daily rhythm of South Vietnamese urban life during and after the Vietnam War.

This Gecko Models kit faithfully reproduces the charm and character of these ubiquitous vehicles, complete with a seated driver. Whether you are building a wartime diorama or a scene of post conflict resilience, this set brings authenticity and narrative depth to your modelling. It also highlights the often overlooked civilian side of Vietnam era modelling, providing a strong cultural and historical context to your displays.
