Welcome sir, it's nice to meet others from overseas and very happy to see another "Tommy", nice start on the weapons and webbing, having basic infantry and Para is a good place to start and you'll have the local airsofters heads turning in Argentina with this kind of kit, it does for me when I go to my local spot.

Happy to meet you sir and if you ever need advice, we're all happy to help! :good:

...want learn about WWII British Para Troops mods,

Hello Luis!
Welcome to the forum!
All of the jeeps which entered into the service of Britain during WW2 had modifications done (to the lights, etc) to make it conform with the other vehicles of the British motor pool. Airborne jeeps also had further modifications carried out on then to allow them to fit inside a glider more easily (such as all external fuel cans moved to locations inside the jeep, cut down the ends of the bumpers, etc...). There are many websites detailing the more specific airborne modification, but unfortunately very few that bother to detail the standard modifications of the 'unglamorous' general service jeeps.

Yes, the British jeeps have many changes, and I found a lot of information, not just anywhere, but in books. I have also registered on forums, as g503.com and http://hmvf.co.uk , who helped me with many questions I had.

Here I have some photos found on the web! http://foro.aacvm.com.ar/viewtopic.php?t=424
I love the Mickey Mouse Camo!

Still need for my collection three weapons!
A Webley Pistol , a SMLE rifle and a Bren Machine Gun!
The first two, maybe airsoft models, but the Bren is difficult to reproduce ...

I followed Dadio work, and congratulations!. It's beautiful as that Bren was completed!

Thank you very much Tommy!

Here, in Argentina , there is a large community of airsofters http://www.airsoftargentina.com/forum/ , but few people are interested in making a WWI reenactmen!
But slowly begins to have interest!

This is my british lamp and work!
