Should have some new ones in from a new supplier soon. Look good from his pics but you never can tell till they turn up. Choice of tan, green and he even says Luftaffe blue :shock: Did they even make them in this colour???? Dog green, a good question really, most pictures I've seen of lufty ground ...

Bolt sawed down for what seems to be a sniper mount. Above t...

This one might be a no brainer but thought i would ask just to make sure, was there a spercific type of white shirt worn by ss officers (ie not in the field). would this have been standard issue private purchase ie just a normal white shirt 1930's /40's style?? If anyone has any info or pictures th...

Guys, Just for safetys sake,(for public events anyway), all of you alt hands know that the general publics "idiocy levels" are spectaculer to say the least,"oh,is that real barbedwire?" as they grab a handfull to find out :roll: . I would suggust using some form of fake wire(rubb...

[quote="Jugendkrieger"]Oh. I got detained. and boy did they get it. (authentically of course) I borrowed a couple of lines from "conspiracy" SD Mann: Papers please, Brunner: (papers handed over) I have already given them up 3 times in this one night!, the security checks in the s...

Windhund Voran! For a tiny tiny buit more accuracy - take the bolts of those rifles back to bare metal. Finishing touches and all that. 116 - Hart wie Kruppstahl! Hi Paul when you say take the bolts back to bare metal does this include the cocking lever and ball? Would this also include the safety ...

Has anyone got a link to a site showing these helmets I have looked at some sites and on ebat, the 2 front pins seem closer together on rommels helmet than on those i have seen...... Ya know, I think hes right, the liner pins are too close together and the brim looks warped (either that the picture...

Gentlman,I might point out that older litzen or uniforms where not withdrawn per,se they were used until current inventory was used up and newer typs intriduced,picturial evidence shows older/newer combos used thru the end of the war. I am interested in finding out if the litzen was made in mouse gr...

Thought I'd toss my zwie pfennigs in, to start with the 34 is acually a pound heavier than the 42, also the rpm might be lower than the 42 its still an ammo hog (can you imagine paying for the ammo :shock: :shock: BRAAAAAP ,ooops thats next weeks paycheck) as for mounts,although you gentlman are cor...

Our KG has been working on a 2,0cm Flak-Vierling to mount on back of a 1,5 t 1941 Ford....... Built from scratch, from welded 0.10" sheet. Some creative fabrication has been used, including cold forging (aka the BFH treatment, Big Freakin' Hammer). Oh, and it gets better........ We want to let...

He does make a point about late war fit, although to point somthing out the great coat was supposed to be a close fit so it would look good on the parade ground,it was'nt untill you hit der feild that you realized the coat is too closely fitted (jam some stuff like socks ammo etc and watch how the c...

Mein Gott, Shiek they cut off your hands .The coat looks good, although It looks to be at least 2 sizes too large, They're supposed to be a fairly close fit( nice and spiffy on a parade ground especialy with emty pockets).

Kelly your making me drool on myself, I wanna go to that so bad problem is time,distance,money. Unfortunatly Gap one is out of the picture because of the money part, oh well, I guess I'll pickup a panzer kill badge some other time. then again theres always Gap2.....

Overall nice kit,but like all of us we're on a mission to "finish out "our kit to perfection , one question though,why the comment on the helmet? the smock I get (early issue,yada yada) but the helmet would have been rebuilt/painted and reissued right thru the war ! Dieter

OMG That poor Tiger
