Cheers Adler, you will have a PM inbound. I'd like to 'commission' you so to speak I'm running a series of articles in a new Airsoft Magazine and I'd *really* like to include some of you loadouts!

Some more of my 1982 Cod War kit. This lots more 'standard' than the loadout i usually skirmish in as its all the kit that was actually issued (some of this I *was* actually issued!) but quite often British soldiers bought their own smocks, undershirts and webbing. Here i've got on the olive green GS shirt, the 'wooly pully' sweater, 1968 pattern fully lined combat jacket, OG 'lightweights' combat trousers, 58 pattern webbing, DMS boots with puttees (phased out after the Falklands war), a rifles beret and 'Northern Ireland' gloves (pretty hard to find these days). And as in the cold war thread, here's me and the rest of the chaps in pretty much the same kit but with a bit of authentic variations such as the issue MKV helmets, private purchase windproof smocks and the occasional pair of the 'new at the time' Boots Combat High.

That FJ impression looks pretty good! You've got an AK47s havent you, the FJ used those in the early years. I picked up a 1984 NVA FJ jacket for 99p the other day, what's that, about 2 dollars? Really badly listed on ebay, its in mint condition too! Good boots you've got there as well. I took a pic of my mate Coley in his kit for the magazine but we didnt have the right boots. BTW did you get my PM about Argentinian 80s loadouts?

Good start but if you want to get your EG kit correct you need to make some quick fixs. The NVA was the last Prussian Army and *everything* was 'by the book' - they didnt do 'field mods' , 'variations' or 'aquired kit'. East Germans wore their trousers *over* the boots, wearing them in was deemed too fascist. The jacket should be worn with the top button open and collar line is *always* worn. There are *exceptional* photos of the being worn inside in really really bad weather conditions. The side cap is worn tucked in the belt, never on the arm. UTV kit as you probably know was never issued except to a few observers of NATO exercises, when it was issued *everything* was UTV... It was never mixed and matched. The grenade pouches were never worn, they were kept in the BMP/BTR You only wear *one* canteen. The correct way to wear the webbing is: Ammuniton pouch over right hip, bayonet to the left of the buckle, then the grey respirator bag (slung over shouldr), on the rear is your canteen and entrenching tool. To be honest you're humping far too much gear. The NVA was an *entirely* armoured 'motor rifles' force and those backpacks were, again, kept on unit transport and not worn in the field. On you back should be your 'ABC' suit. Good start though. You MVD kit is probably a bit too 'organised' for MVD. The 'birch' pattern is really a Border Guards pattern. You occasionally see the odd bit with MVD but never a full matching set, in fact *mismathced* kit is the real MVD look. Virtually all that kit is CIS/FSU Russian rather than Soviet so probably best to get a modern russian flag. Some army units hung onto the red star but the MVD are the arm of the interior. Pretty cool though, im only suggesting these as easy fixes to stuff you already have to wear it correctly on the whole. Oh and you *really* need someone to show you how to shape a beret, that Iraqi one is *way* too small and looks a bit odd at the mo, might look better shaped... russian ones I wouldnt worry about they always look weird but the MVD have started shaping their maroon ones..... NVA FDA should be worn like this

I've been slowly building up a 50s and 60s British Army in the far east impression. This is rough as the badgers proverbial at the moment. Trousers are WWII pattern, they were worn but not universally and probably not by Borneo. Shirts too small but getting them in my size is tricky, bush hats a repro, missing a second water bottle and a machete, also still need a no5 or SLR bayonet... would prefer black and green rather than all green boots and most obviously of all pouches are empty and i'm wearing very modern glasses Easy fixs are the lack of tactical signs on the bush hat.. i intend to sew on a white circle or weave in some white tape. I could also do with a one colour scrim, i only own two colour ones so I left it off. Got a 42 pattern bergan or an 18 set for my back but again as I'm just trying out the basics i left that off. Kit is: Repro 44 pattern Bushhat Original 50s pattern aertex jungle shirt Repro 42/43 pattern JG trousers Original 44 pattern webbing, all dated around 1956-60 Original brit jungle boots. Rubbish pic quality as i'm working from home on my own today so I had to take video and crop out stills in paint! Weapon wise as mentioned on other forums threads i've got stuff thats either too early (no4 and sten MKII) or a bit too late for Malaya (SLR, they were used especially by kiwis in 57 and 58 and onwards by Brits.)

My Serbianish I was poorly supplied. Currently awaiting a blue tiger stripe jumpsuit and an old mile dragic to arrive from Serbia. Belgianish mainly since I am inlove with jigsaw pattern things. Earlier East German. All these impression would look tens times better if you were not carrying far too much kit. Slim down your belt order... chest rig *or* webbing. The east german one especially one *one* MpiK pouch is worn, even if its for practical airsofting reasons i cannot understand why anyone would need more than 4 ak high cap? And for the love of god... boots *inside* the trousers in the NVA.. i know it doesnt look as cool but thats how they were worn. The NVA was, like all warsaw pact armies stupidly inflexible, stuff was worn according to regulation with no lee way for personal comfort... unless you really fancied a stint in a penal battalion. Here for you reference: If you wore your kit properly and stripped down your webbing to a sensible correct load it would look really good. seems a shame to go 90 per cent of the way there and them not be bothered about the last 10 per cent being right...

USMC Infantryman The glaring imperfections that remain are that my belt is clearly not a current-issue USMC belt, my helmet is still using a 2-point as opposed to 4-point suspension system, and my boots are not bloused correctly. Drop a comment and let me know what you think!
