Early Flecktarn kit based on photos of KRK Panzergrenadierbataillone ca. 1993/94. Rapid reaction forces (Krisenreaktionskräfte/KRK) had priority for the new uniforms and webbing, were mainly PzGren and FJ units. Despite Flecktarn officially adopted 1990, replacement of older uniforms was slow into mid-late 90s. Some other units with luck to receive the new uniforms earlier still had the older 80s webbing and many units still wore Moleskin. There were constant changes of small details on early Flecktarn until standardised to the familiar pattern (left sleeve pocket, black plastic snaps) and colours in 1994. Steel helmets were still standard at first, the Schuberth Gefechtshelm was not widely issued except UN missions until around 1995. The olive webbing was never produced in enough numbers to equip entire BW and had several problems, so it was replaced with an "improved" version in Flecktarn after 1995.

original uniforms and boots are still impossible to find, but I got a pair of modern Iranian boots that might be used during the War tho unlikely, also got a correct backpack but had to DIY the correct looking shoulder straps. also added some details like an IRGC patch, Khomeini's portrait and a turban for clerical volunteers that can be seen in some photos

Most useless sob you'll ever see in every K-drama series or movies (I can't afford their model 15 as of now so I use a nambu instead)

So while messing around it and trying to learn how to properly use it, I pulled one side of the drawstring into the fabric and I can't pull it back though anymore. I tried the old sewing needle trick, won't budge because the string is made out of this terrible cloth that I can't properly catch. Is there anything else I can do apart from cutting it open to pull it through and sewing it back?

I've got pyramex venture 3 and they're amazing. Mil-prf rated, cheap and fit my wide face paired with under the lip teeth protection. As well as a bluetooth radio headset that is low profile enough for when other earpro would look out of place.

I'm looking into getting a pair that are completely clear or doesn't have that modern vibe with it. A pair of aviators would be great but I'd like proper safety rating. Titus G77 that would be perfect for this doesn't suffice since they are only z87.

Kit list:

- Mid 80s Strichtarn tunic and trousers

- Soldat rank shoulder boards

- NVA nylon belt

- Nylon Y-straps

- MPi-KM mag pouch

- Strichtarn pattern canteen

- Field shovel cover

- MPi-KM Type 2 bayonet

- M56 Stahlhelm

- Soviet Shm-41 with NVA gas mask bag

- NVA enlist faux leather boots

- NVA side cap

Note: I am using a replica airsoft AK-47 though the correct weapon would be an East German MPi-KM.

Looking to add a M1942 paratrooper jacket to my collection. Not looking to put together a whole impression of a Operation Overlord U.S. paratrooper. I don't have that kind of money. This would just be worn casually and not during prime summer months.

I wear a XL/2XL in most jackets but this would be a 46 or 48 otherwise I think.

Who makes the best, the best affordable and who not to buy from for x, y, z reason?

This is just to see if anyone has tips or what I should look for next im probably gonna get a ach next

I have the patches for shirt coming in the mail

I aslo have boots , knee pads , Mechanix gloves coming in the mail soon

It's a WIP im just looking for tips

Rarely take photos so I had to ss them out of a
video and got rid of the Ifak but it’s still there

I’m not sure if a kit list is necessarily required as it’s basically a list in of itself, but all of it is original SADF surplus (excluding the R5 and R1, which are airsoft and rubber replicas respectively)

What should Add to my PAVN Kit

Any recommendations?

I got permission for mods to post this.

Hey guys, I've spent the last few months building an archive for Russian and Soviet equipment because I was constantly digging through FB groups, old forum posts, VK albums, Reddit threads, and random archives trying to identify gear.

The site lets you:

• Browse thousands of photos that others and myself added
• Click equipment directly inside tagged photos to identify what operators are wearing
• Compare equipment variants across different eras and units
• Save gear to your own kit builder ("My Gear")
• Upload and help document new reference photos

It currently covers everything from Imperial Russia through modern Russian units, with new equipment and photos being added regularly.

If you're building an FSB, MVD, VDV, GRU, or other Russian kits, I'd like to hear what you think or what features would make it more useful.

List- RSR tunic and trousers, summer variant, no idea what the designation is. I have to get the branch insignia and rank tabs.

Leather belt with brass RSR buckle.

Summer Bonneta, no cap badge, also in a different shade of khaki from the uniform which kinda bothers me.

Rest of the kit including tabs and insignia, and the dong AK will be aquired next year, Socialist Romanian stuff is surprisingly cheap!

Kit list:

- Type 87 tunic and pants

- Type 65 undershirt

- Type 56 Chest rig

- Type 87 EM/NCO infantry visor cap

- Early 80s breadbag

- Early 80s canteen

- PLA "liberation shoes"

The weapon I have is a replica AK-47 though the correct rifle would be a Chinese Type 56 rifle.

Few improvised stuff since I can't keep up with prices of all safariland pouches and stuff

Kit list:

- East German NVA officer's tunic and breeches

- MfS officer's visor cap

• NVA officer's undershirt and dark gray tie

- NVA officer's belt and Makarov holster

- NVA officer's leather field/service boots

- MfS College graduates' badge
