Re: Afghanistan, ~1984/5

I like your trainers, you have your ukara trainer license yet? then u can spray them black! just kidding haha nice loadout dude

Made me smile Thanks for the comment.

Funny but the trainers are NOT one of the things in my loadout that are wrong. Pics of Puma and Adidas rip-offs abound from the Afghan era. Anyway thought I'd post up a kit list:

TIG Helmet with homemade Hessian cover One of the things that is wrong is that I've used modern sniper tape to secure the cover. I am hoping to make a better cover out of a KZS-1 suit. I'll update when its done.
ANA Soviet Style Gorka Modern made but to the original Soviet cut and style.
ANA Bandana/Triangular bandage
Puma Mockbas
RD-54 and belt kit
RPK Bag Sadly this pouch isnt soviet. Probably Polish/Bulgarian. If anyone has a Soviet one for sale please PM me.
TT-34 Holster Sadly contains a CZ-75, as I just cant justify 11 rd pistol mags for a SRC/KWA TT-34, sriously could we not have squeezed in 15rds minimum?

Thanks.

Fair enough, my bad Perhaps I was just slightly shocked by the audacity of the colour!

Yeah, the MOCKBA's are (possibly) Adidas rip-offs, although some people claim they're legit and were made for the 1980 Olympics (MOCKBA being Moscow where the Olympics were held)

From what I understand they were shoddy self-made communist ripoffs licensed by adidas for the 1980 olympics, but production continued long after it was supposed to.
