The first one I did at the same time for nycrounders
Instead of the Vietnam bezel I brass plated the cartel one
I faded the insert a bit less so the triangle stayed more red and painted the milgauss text on the dial a faded red

Great work! do you use a drill press or hand drill to enlarge the spring bar hole?
