do you think this would go well with the fj kit.
Looks strange, what is it? MP40 or K98 is normal 
or an FG42, purpose built for FJ

Jay where did you find those pics?
Looks like somting put together post war to me, its a butched ww2 G43, with a socom look, the folding stock looks like its off a AK of some type,

i got the pic off of gunbroker, it is a g43 which was brought back from the war as a trophy and then butchered at a later date. although its not historically correct i kind of like it, guess thats my sick taste coming through 
i might get that smock as its quite cheap and im sure i have read somewhere that they can be run through the washing machine with a dye to sharpen up the colours.

People should be strung up by the thumbs for doing stuff liek that to classic rifles.
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
yeah gadge it does seem a shame, there are quite a few g43's out there that have been cut up and made into shorter sporting rifles
cheers guys
im concentrating on a smock at the moment
Nice print, not a bad smock at all. The white lining and stone wash get up some folks nose. A light tint with a tan dye will sort that. They are made by Sturm who are Mil-tech in another life.
I have the Field Div version of this camo, I like it. It will get a splash of dye before too long.

better by design

OK Guys, another FJ kit question, What was the introduction date of the 6 cell MP40 Mag pouch, the Knee protectors, and assault grenade/ Pioneer pouch. Cheers lads.

I believe there is no firm introduction date for these items but all were in use at the outbreak of the war, so no problems using any of these pieces with early, mid or late war impressions
But What about spanish war?
OK, sorry, Ill try not to do it too often. so it was pre war, but not that pre war. danke.
But What about spanish war?
Condor Legion FJ
go away you bad man, no winding up the old fart please
Damn missed a pythonesq opportunity then 
Just curious on the knee pad thing, is there a set range of patterns (splinter/olive/blue-grey) that are correct for any set time or were they all used pretty much through out with varying reasons of use ?
Don't think that made sense 
hopefully someone gets what I mean.

Condor Legion FJ
Anyway, I meant the grenade and assault bags
yeah, but are the grenade bags
a)A Lufty/FJ only Item?
and if not
b) Early enough for condor legion?
and yes I know its abit Off topic. SORRY
Knee pads would have been used since very early war, but were ditched once they had landed.
Thank yee both
just received my tan/water jump smock and would like to know how big these should be. i was advised on the size after giving my measurements to the guy i got it from, but man this thing is big, right down to just below my knees and enough room inside for me AND pavarotti.
hi noily
it is a size II, and i am a size 40 chest and 5' 6" short. it fits fine in the shoulders and when the legs are fastened it is just above the knee. just feels very baggy.
jay
5'6" your smaller than me
