Ealry war heer panzer uniform and late war field grey tunic arrived today.
Need to do a small ammount of retailoring as although both mediums the m43 tunic is a perfect fit and the panzer wrap a little short on the arm and little loose on the back, going to let the arm down and take in the vents tonight.
Bizzarley the mediumn m43 fits liek a glove, my medium m36 from the same supply is a little big?

I've got my old pz leutnant shoulder boards, you'll need some pips though . PM me an address .

oh well, i think you would have made a cracking Hinka gadge, we could have soon chopped off the extra arm. 
GD is good, i could do a GD loadout just by changeing shoulder boards 
may be of use if a few GD are going to an event , i may have to get a oak smock and kecks, then i can fill out the ranks of 9th SS, and the GD EM shoulderboards, then i could help swell the ranks of two units,
it is nice to work along side a unit,

I thought someone on here had already got stuff from them , as to Western Union since their service has been used as part of a big scam on Ebay they tend not to recommend you sending money to anyone you don't personally know, however it's only so they have no liability if your money does dissappear, anyway let us know how it turns out as I was planning to get some stuff from them later on this year.

yeah, some people have already received kit from frontofrussia, so i think they're reputable enough, plus i paid on my credit card just to be on the safe side, so i think i still have fraud cover anyway.
£300 is a lot of money to throw away if it all goes tits-up, that's all!
I bought my Afghan Soviet kit from FrontOfRussia and the service, speed, etc. was great. Also got some free stuff thrown in. I doubt you'll have any problems.
excellent, cheers. It was more paranoia because of what Western Union said than any real fears about them in particular.
They've confirmed payment via email, and will be scanning me the package tracking numbers when they're dispatched, anyway.
Gawd Mr Benn's being assisted in his kit whorage now
