Nice! I do really like the Airborne stuff.. It looks very neat and almost like the most 'modern' ww2 kit you can buy!

was it your inspiration ??

Re: WW2 101st Airborne Kit

Thinking about it, theres probably many things that have led me to go down this road. WW2 is something that has always grabbed my attention from when I was back in primary school.
I guess films/TV series like Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, A bridge to far... (this list could go on forever lol) have kind of sealed my interest in the subject. Band of Brothers definitely inspired me to go the Airborne route with my airsoft kit. To be honest, i'm not really a big fan of modern warfare, everyone just looks the same if you know what I mean, where as with ww2 gear you're easily recognisable, and it just seems much more unique which is why I like it more to modern gear.

Re: WW2 101st Airborne Kit

Looks good mate.

Can I ask ballpark what it cost?

[watsit20]

Re: WW2 101st Airborne Kit

Including the Thompson, what you see is around £565 give or take a bit. Expensive stuff, but totally worth it :D
