Update :D
Probably going to edit these Kar mag pouches rather than get G43 ones, seems a shame not to use them.







Sorry for the mediocre quality photos - off my iphone as the cameras out of batteries.

Re: lets talk germans, of the WW2 variety

All these pictures and lists are great.

I'll be putting together a German kit in a couple of months and these have really pushed me to do my research as I want to get the look just right.

Going for a late-war style motorized infantry as a friend of mine has already done a fallschirmjäger kit and I want to do something different to him

One point about all the stunning loadouts from above (they are very nice).

There way to clean....

I would suggest Panzer Lehr or Windhund grenadier. Panzer wraps are really cool, and the grey/lime green colour scheme is suprisingly awesome too.

Speaking of, here is my panzer uniform.

Tank Commander, Panzer Lehr Division, 1944-45

Classy-looking as all hell, dude.

Friend of mine goes airsofting in Nazi kit, but is afraid to get a uniform like that because of the insignia.

Re: lets talk germans, of the WW2 variety

I don't play as a Nazi, nor would I ever choose to. The kit is an Army Panzer Division Captain. I don't mean to come off as a dick about it, but there is a big divide between the various branches of the German forces during WW2.

Unfortunately some of the awards bear prominant swastikas, the Deutsche Kreuz (below the chest eagle) is particularly outsized. Although primarily a social outfit for the saturday nights at WW2 weekends, I have used it to play in and despite the magazine storage issues, its quite usable.

My team's fallschirmjager uniforms are much more understated thankfully!
