Next to the dirt, a helmet net with some scrim would add to the look of your outfit, Volcom.

Great looking shots.

Aye, Headshot is spot on. Live in the kit for a weekend during the pissing rain in wales, and the kit will soon look perfect (as that pic shows!)

A young trooper fresh outta boot lands into normanday , misses his drop zone by 2 clicks , having lost his leg bag and weapon , waits till daylight then sets out by himself to hook up with the rest of his unit.

Cool.

Some polite pointers:

Put some stripes on your arm or loose the one on the back of your helmet.
Adjust your suspenders up a bit, they look a little loose and twisted. You'll find it much more comfortable.
This will also adjust your mussette pack up a bit, it should be on your upper back. (Also fill that pack with kit!) ;)

All in all, looking good.

NB: Where's your helmet chinstrap!?

Do me a favour, bring that helmet on Sunday. I like the fact that it has a shiny steel rim....just need to look where the seam is!

Very hard to fault as a tidy airsoft load out.

With a fussy head on and having read some books, the M43 trousers were not that common in NW Europe. The mustard wools are the usual. That is being about as picky as I can.

Sow some SGT chevrons on and chew some gum, you could almost pass for Sgt Horvath out of SPR
