Bluestone 42 loadout?
12 November, 2013, 19:12
Been watching the show for a few weeks now, think it's pretty cool, so I thought about putting together a loadout based on what they are wearing.
The show's producers have obviously tried their best to get as close to British army kit as possible, but it's not quite the same.
Anyway, here's a reference pic for those that aren't familiar with the show:
Based on that picture, I have come up with a shopping list:
L85 + Rail system
Multicam trousers and UBACS
Desert boots (I'm a fan of magnums)
Osprey Mk2
Mk6 helmet
Bowman headset
Fisherman's Friend
Have I missed anything?
What else do I need?
Advice much

Errrm, isn't it just a mix of crap fake MTP with the old osprey? Plus, why bother?

Re: Bluestone 42 loadout?
Surely the logical extension of your question is "why run around in the woods with a toy gun"?
I'd have thought the answer would be "Fun".

Not really, it's just because doing a proper afghan load out is better.

Technically, a 'proper' afghan loadout isnt better?
He has created a post for Bluestone 42 in the 'fictional' loadout section, ie: not real.
Therefore, doing a 'proper' loadout wouldn't be accurate at all.
He has even stated in his post that its not accurate to the British loadout.
I enjoy the show
To the OP: Fill your boots, it will also be a damn sight cheaper than a 'proper' loadout and 98% of people on the airsoft field wont know the difference anyway!
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Anyone know what they are actually wearing? Camo looks very green to me.
OP don't forget the fake IFOR Patch, iirc it says IFAS though I could be wrong on that.
The laptop is mightier than the pistol.

Re: Bluestone 42 loadout?
Patch does indeed say IFAS. On the same template as ISAF patches. Looked into getting some made up back when the series originally came out because myself & my house mate where gonna put one of these together for shits n giggles (Y)
But that was when I was in Faluja.

As SD said, some sort of fake MTP, where it's sourced from who knows. Might even be specifically made for the series

Re: Bluestone 42 loadout?
I thought it was just muticam in ACU cut, but yeah, it does look a bit too green to be muticam.
I've had this hat for a while, the pattern is called UTP, and it looks fairly close to what they use in the show.
I had a look about but I can't find anything other than webbing and hats in the pattern.
I do have some real MTP, so that'll have to do for now until the mystery is solved.
And, I found this this morning.
Not much, but it's a start

All you need is a multi-tool and massive lump of cheese and people who are in the know will like your load out. Simples.

Re: Bluestone 42 loadout?
Pulled out some reference pics to help pull everything together.
It looks as though Nick has taped a bit of flecktarn to his osprey.
I've got plenty of flecktarn kit lying about, I think I can donate a strip of fabric to this noble cause.
Can anyone ID the TRF?
Is it borrowed from a real regiment or has it been specially made?
Also, those look like revision goggles, so there's another item on the shopping list.
Here's a few pics of the patches, these will likely have to be custom made, as I can't seem to source them.
Might leave the ATO one out, just to be polite.
