Most of the Marines I knew from Vietnam were full-size. However, after talking to a Marine you begin to think they’re larger than life.

Several, actually, and some ROKMC and RVNMC, too. And an Embassy Guard who was there in April 1975.
One thing to watch for in the various kit figures are sculpts that are fast-and-loose with LBE details. And uniform details as well. Marines were in RVN from 63 to 73, and they went through a lot of uniform & LBE issue over that span. So, arm yourself with plenty of photo references.
You can try MasterBox Jungle Patrol kit. Excellent kit with the opportunity to make numerous figures from 4 basic ones.
You might want to look into the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry (not Marines), who fought at Hamburger Hill. If you’re set on US Marines in Vietnam, check units like 1st or 3rd Marine Divisions—though they weren’t involved in Hamburger Hill specifically. For 1/35 scale figures, check brands like Dragon, Tamiya, or Master Box.
