VIC was either VIC 1 or VIC 2. Radios were SINCGARS ICOM (bigger radio box).

SINCGARS ICOM radios


Smaller (later) SINCGARS ASIP

Michel Goldberg's SINCGARS radios from Shapeways are amazing. Once cleaned up the detail is the best I've seen. He is also the one who produces the different VIC intercom systems.

Calvin, there isn't just one set. Michael makes a VIC 2 set that is to be used with a SINCGARS and then he makes a SINCGARS set that has enough parts to do two vehicles. It has 6 handsets, 3 speakers, 2 ICOM radios, 2 ASIP radios, and two amplifiers. Those two sets plus a bunch of photos are enough to do anything you desire.

Regards,

Eric
