I played at pheonix urban on Sunday 1st April and saw one of your members called "Adie" wearing a solid black German uniform. This uniform is perfect for the loadout i am currently creating and what i am looking for is the name of this uniform and if possible the place to buy it.

Thanks

Sounds like a Panzer uniform to me :)

look like this?

Regarding shopping, unless you want the absolute pinacle of re-enactment gear, then go to Spearhead (search for them on here), you cant go wrong. IIRC, Barry @ Spearhead does tunic and trouser sets, slightly discounted from buying them seperately.

First choice is whether you go for Waffen-SS or Heer (Army). Has a lot of bearing on what insignia is used.

You'll find lots more links on the following threads. One of the best things about the WW2 Airsoft scene is researching the uniforms, equipment and insignia of the unit you portray.

I guess it's true what they said about the German army - old men and kids. :P

It's Airsoft. Things *always* verge off-topic, so sometimes you have to remind people what the thread is about lol

Just PM Ade and ask him about his kit! I'm pretty certain his was from Soldier of Fortune but speak to him direct...
STORMTROOPER ADE on this and the Phoenix forums
