Re: WW2 101st Airborne Kit

looking good! i use a 101st loadout as well. if your ever down at ****** *****, theres a squad of us there, and we usually bring my willys Jeep :D
My only critasism - loose the goggles on the helmet! They were used in Holywood, but very rarely actually used in the field.

Gotta agree, while the kit is nice, the pics are AWSOME, really liking those!

Re: WW2 101st Airborne Kit

I love all the kit, the guns and the photos, and I'm wondering what effect you used on the second photo down for the colour that it is?

It's a Marushin M1 8mm GBB, I got it of some chap who was selling it on the forums here few weeks back, It's so nice

@skapunkninja
God I'd love to go in a Willys Jeep :D I'm really keen on trying to get a few more people interested in ww2 gear. With the goggles, I'm thinking of getting some new glasses or mesh glassses or something, they're nice but a bit bulky.

@GhostDivisionAirsoft
I'm not pro but I'm really into my photography :P when it comes to editing some of my photos I use Adobe Lightroom 3, there like loads of preset effects so I used a Sepia effect, and then I just went round fiddling with all the saturations, hues, contrast etc etc

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.

You hit the nail on the head, world war 2 has always grabbed me from a young age too and uniform to me is pretty powerful!

Re: WW2 101st Airborne Kit

Those pictures are fantastic, I have a 99% finished airborne loadout, I just don't have enough money to get the jump boots atm. And don't get gaiters you have the correct boots anyway.

Re: WW2 101st Airborne Kit

Something you might want to consider the 101st didn't wear the stars and stripes flag, but the 82nd did.



You might also want to change your mag pouches to the thompson mag pouch.



Just hopes this helps a little for a very good start on a good loadout and would even do a re-enactor proud.
