Lets see your kit!

Looks good, you need to put the cuff title on the other cuff though. SS on left, army on right.

[ForumFrog]

Yeah, that was a realisation made only after using a machine to sew it. Until I can get a spare hour and a seem ripper I'll be using my SS kit.

I can say I was not amused when I found out. Darned army, always has to be different.

Nice pics... but the gloves are too white or is that just the flash from the camera making them look white?

[Boyso]

From what I've seen, China-made gloves tend to be really white, when they should be really yellow.

Also, I'd change those laces on your Corcos, as I believe these are "parade" laces while in the field, they mostly used brown leather laces, or just paracord.

Looks very good. On par or better than most of the airsoft 101st impressions around my neck of the woods.

[HauntedTank]

Thanks fellas!
I have a pair of yellow gloves. These are more of a bleached leather. As for the leather laces I'm going to dye them for sure.
I'm proud of the kit and the fun it goes with it playing Airsoft.

All this recent WW2 buzz in the thread is just driving me on to post some of my stuff up here.


First is Pz.Aufklärungs NCO, finished, Dot44 SS Scharführer and a Heer soldier.

[shiftsup]

Here is one of mine from this past winter.

I used these pictures and a few others from books.







Here is my try at 82nd AB Recon, Ardennes 1944. But in my backyard.



I gamed this one a few weeks after the pic was taken. It isn't so white anymore.

[Off_kilter]

I was going to say those are the whitest snow cams I've ever seen!

[B@K3R]

So I took some photos with some of my gear on...gives you a idea of what you can do and what some of the stuff looks like




This is my main set up. This is a CYMA Thompson with repo WW2 strap.
M42 Uniform from - At The Front
M1 Helmet
Pistol Belt
5 cell 20 rd Thompson Pouch
Canteen
First Aid Pouch
Let Down Rope
Hawkins Mine (on left foot)
Jump Boots
Parachute strip as a scarf



The Goggles are WW2 dated Dust Goggles, used mostly my drivers but given to many



As you can see they look like crap when they are not on the helmet...I do not use them as my gaming goggles









This is the 506th AB jack that ATF sells. It comes with the extra pockets (Rigger Modified) one on each arm, and 2 on the back as seen here.






This is with all rigger pouches. I am on point for the patrol



Not so great but another look



Some RNR... WW2 era repo baseball glove. I am also having some German beer



With Jeep Cap



With out Jeep Cap



Better View of the pouches and lay out of gear

Where did you get the mine?

My guess is WPG for $38.
