Been a while since I put up whats been arriving at home, all sorts of goodies. A set of u-boat denims and a Leutnant z.see peaked cap and ass. U-boat badges to go on the side.
An italian zelt and a Swiss zelt to go on the floor in my tents and to cover kit I dont want seen.
Some blocks of blanco in various colours.
A Hungarian zelt, you dont see them that often and its a nice camo pattern.
Some German rank stars.
2 M35 and 1 M42 pattern german helmets, all repro. One to paint up as a sani and 2 to sit in the peaks of an 8 section zelt tent. Not so worried about loosing repro shells. A nice repro chin strap for the sani helmet, most supplied ones are not great.
A fallshie gas mask bag.
EM schirmutze piped for Nebel troops.
An original splinter zelt.
A set of Barry Lyndons plane tree coveralls for working on vehicles in and general pottering about. Might even take them airsofting with the MP40.
Some zelt buttons to replace those that are/go missing.
A pair of printed 5th div. flashes and a plastic RA beret badge.
Still waiting for an M40 tunic badged as nebel from R.A.U. one turned up but was not the size in the label so it went back.

Just got this recently
Supposedly a 'late 40's Belgian leather jerkin', in a ww2-stylee (labelling is certainly Belgian)
Leather is more of a 'chocolate' brown, as opposed to our 'tan' leather and it has brass buttons, although these are to be replaced with the chocolate brown plastic buttons off the '50's PVC version that I have been using. However, all-in-all, a lot closer than the aforementioned PVC jerkin and ......
Just got my leather jerkin from the same guy... Its in totally mint condition, could almost have been made yesterday. Now I just need to sort out those buttons.
Not WW2, just won a Konica S2 Auto. A camera favored by GIs in Vietnam. As I'm currently selling my Vietnam gear I think I can make one of the guys from the Vietnam group within our organisation very happy with this one.

Just recieved my MP40 and mags , very impressed, cant wait to skirmish with it.
Now where is the rest that ive ordered (looks out window to spy on postie)
The first part of my CR kit turned up on Monday (FJ jump trousers, lid and gas mask pouch), the second today (Swedish ruck) and the third tomorrow (Smock and assorted bits and pieces). Shame the fourth part won't show up until the week before 
The photographic evidence (obscenely large picture)
PS - if anyone else is getting one of those rucks or thinking about it and wants some more shots of it, I've got about 10 detailed ones sitting here that I can post up.
where did you get your FJ trousers from, i ordered a pair from spearhead +3 weeks now , still waiting for them and he is delaying on a tracking number . claims he posted 20may. customs or parcel force havent got back to me either .
Received a complete uniform and webbingset from SOF for a friend of mine.
Garand belt buckle is made from potmetal and had been broken into 4 pieces.
The size 38 throusers were more like size 34. <_<
Not pleased....Not pleased at all.

That's interesting to know, Mr_Flibble, as I was about to make a big order on uniform and kit from them.
I was pretty close to doing so too.
Bought from WPG instead. Cheaper.
a pair of Guarder C3 polycarbonate shooting glasses with the four sets of lenses.
WPG? Afraid I don't know them - what's their stuff like, mate, and where can I get it?
They're in the US. There stuff is mostly excellent, though some stuff isn't the best you can get... Often its better than SoF.
There you go,

Just had a look at the package deals, looks very good. The only thing missing would be a helmet. What price shipping (lol), and how long does it take to get to the UK?
well, they said my order should be here before the end of the month.
It better be otherwise I wont have a uniform for Churchill's Revenge!... :S
If you're missing any bits let me know and I may be able to lend you some stuff...

In the end I got mine from Hong Kong Keiths' ebay store (sorry, I don't have a link). Packaged up and arrived within 7 days, and the same for my Smock from Spearhead, but I did have quite a delay in communications with him, so you might just have to be patient (as annoying as it can be).

At the moment I'm missing all the bits. It's the nerve wracking waiting of people to get back to you, orders to be processed etc...
ugh!!
What impression are you doing? I have a 101st helmet.
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
