I'm just about to order from trident and would just like to check with you guys in the know if what I'm planning to get sounds good, both in cost & accuracy terms. I want to get as much of my stuff from one place as possible rather that from all over and trident seem like my best bet.

I plan to order one of their M35 uniform sets seen here

http://www.tridentmilitary.com/Soviet-WW2/early-war-packages.html

I was planning to go for the cheaper option (top one) however I also fancy a camo suit for a later war look. The 2nd option offers a greater varity of camo at a cheap price when you buy as one; $50 instead of $75 and that includes the leaf camo with ameba overlay which is the camo I'm really after.

I'm not 100% on the historical accuracy however as I've heard some trident camo can be a bit 'made up' but I think I'm safe with what I'm looking at.
Also are trident good for boots? one of the reasons I opted for Trident over FOR was the likely boots/size issue.

So basically I plan to got for a M35 uniform set plus camo, boots, plash-palatka and grenade pouch for either $450 (1st option) or $510 (2nd). Would you say it looks like a decent deal? Its quite a lot I know but I just figured I may as well do it once properly than faff about later because I'm not happy with what I got.
Also does anyone have any general advice when dealing with trident other than its best to phone them?

cheers

Actually I've change my mind, I'm going to order from FOR instead and save some cash. I think I'll not bother with the camo for now as I don't need it for Bryans.

We're going for basic OD gimnasterka shirt, trousers, plus helmet and/or pilotka.

I'm going to get the full M35 set plus some boots now. I'll see if he has any SVT40 pouches & maybe a greatcoat if he does mens sizes. :tongue:
