New SS oberschutze impression.. Mr Ben strikes again.

i like the scalf its a good look

Looking good Gadge!

I'll be getting a plane tree smock one day but as stands fits in with the unit policy yeah?

I've feldgrau kielhosen under the dot44 trousers.

Dot pattern is fine, in fact, I'll be wearing a mix of Dot and feldgrau at the Bryansk game myself. I've also recently acquired a bargain priced Richard Underwood Burred edge smock, which is screaming for its' first battle as well.

What I like about Dot pattern is that it's worn with no rank insignia, so, no more extra sewing and it's cheaper as well.

Im not even having eagle or shoulder boards on mine, i think it looks better without and loads of pics show it them missing off field uniforms.

Looking good Mr B

Only falshy and kriegsmarin to go and i'll have the set!

Dont think i'll ever bring myself to get yank/spam kit though

you forgot about the whole italy thing just think of all those xtra uniforms

Only falshy and kriegsmarin to go and i'll have the set!

Dont think i'll ever bring myself to get yank/spam kit though

heh heh - i only have Kreigsmarine outfit to go and i have the set also

Em, i have a US Tanker part load out on the go - just need boots

Ah but then i'd have to practice holding my arms up in the air for prolongued periods and retreating.

not to mention a well built gun that does not break when u drop it and run

Afrika Korps, Gadge? Pith helmet version?

and eric morcombe shorts

Hey Gadge, great !!! the fact is, that if you portray a SS men, you have a lot of opportunities what to wear, it is not so hard like in the Heer or the "Fallies" (we german call them like this, your term would sound for every german like "Faschies" or "Faschos" I dont have to explain what would they think ! The SS had so many items that where regular items it could be worn at the same time, that a SS unit will allwas look like a mix of everything. To start with "Erbsentarn" dot camo is a good idea, only the early years you would miss with this impression, "taking home austria", "protection of the czech republic", liberation of netherland, belgium and france and the Yugo- greek tour as well. The first few month of the russian adventure too, but from 1943 all...... I like the scarf too, looks fancy, should get one too..... but I wear a yellow one as US Captain in the Vietnam events...... (Hollywood in my mind..... )

Cheers

planetree smock and oak helmet cover are future aquisitions for earlier battles.
Only really went for dot 44 as i got a pair of trousers for a bargain price so thugh i ought to get a jacket as well

I'll rarley skirmish in this kit unfortunatley, its specifically for any future events that are themed as 'ss vs us'

and eric morcombe shorts

Ever seen the pics of early DAK with pith helmets, shorts and jackboots... looks really silly.

nope not seen them but i expect they v funny . i myself will never were shorts as my legs are against the geneva covention

I would say that for us northern europeans it wouldnt be the best kind of camo with our snow-white legs.....

@ Gadge, you have nice BEVO collar patches, where did you buy them? This is a item I dont have in my stock but I like it especialy for late war impressions.
