so whose going to build me an airsoft one 






This is the start of my idea of some sort of special forces uniform. I'm busy converting an MP001 at the moment, and I've ordered the webbing to go with it. The Webbing set on it already is my Airborne one.
Ordered the OSS badge from Cost A Fortune as well.
How do I look? (What is different about the M41?)

Tuck your shirt in for heaven's sake!

























I wasn't wearing any pants at the time, and Calvin Klein boxers really don't go with my load out haha Naw only had a pair of shorts on and didn't want to ruin the look.

Have you sprayed it with black stripes or something?
try dipping a rag in od paint and then randomly daubing the uniform with the paint like pathfinders did prior to action, works best if you wear the uniform and somebody applies the paint rag, the aerosol stripes look a little too modern in my opinion.
"Major Bernard Himmler, does the name mean anything to you?"
It's sprayed with dark brown aerosol paint, looks great up close but will have a go with the rag to make the edges less...'aerosolly'

What did the pathfinders orginally use? Wouldnt Paint make the material go really stiff?

I imagine it would...and it is slightly more stiff...it doesn't impede movement or anything like that. And it does look rather good with all the gear on. I'm getting a loadout together, that's why I've been buying up everyones spare kit haha. Probably going to go with my Springfield...or maybe buy another Thompson.

I was thinking of doing a similar thing but just to my mussett bag.
Please don't.

























How come.....i read in my book it was common place amougst the the paratroopers jumping on D-Day.
Never heard that before. What book? Any secondary accounts?
May have been Pathfinders.
Anyhows, this is airsoft so if you want to do it, do it. ![]()

























its the, Histoire & Collection's "D-Day Paratroopers: The Americans" by Christophe Deschodt.
I've heard of Pathfinders painted their uniforms...never heard of it being done to equipment before. I imagine it would look quite odd.

I'll get a picture of the page and post it up....its not as crazy as it sounds....its just a few lines of green. i'll show you one i was bidding for on ebay a few weeks back.
Remember, just because you've seen it in one picture doesn't mean it's a good idea to represent that.
Like Alex says, Pathfinders painted their uniforms (and maybe kit, but I've not seen it before). They were specialist troops though and needed the extra camouflage.
I'd do a bit more research before painting your kit.
