$_Easternbloc loadout

[AlexLM]

Ok here's an EB loadout I put together, It's all Red Army stuff apart from the backpack which is Yugo:

Czech M85 cap
Czech M85 Fatigues
Czech M60 Boots
Soviet rubberized combat belt and Yoke
Soviet AKM mag pouch
JNA Combat Pack

May I say I'm fairly sure that the Yugo bag has some bloodstains on it...

Re: $_Easternbloc loadout

Since when was Czech Army called Red Army??

there was original VZ58 mag pouch on ebay for £15 you might want to buy it as it's all leather and would make your loadout standing out little bit more.

My mistake, CPA/ČSLA not Red Army. Yeah I saw the Vz mag pouches, think I prefer the Soviet ones but I'll have a think about it. Also Idk why this is in Russian loadouts.

Yes proper Czech webbing would finish it off nicely. Belts, mag pouches and gas mask bags are pretty easy to get hold of. A shame a VZ58 isn't! A good start though, nice to see something different.

P.s I recommend an M85 parka for winter, I love mine.

So just to make it clear is it CSLA or Czech Army - two different things, one before 1.1.1993 the other one after 1.1.1993

You can get vz58 fom US for about $400.

It's CSLA. Warsaw Pact.

Seriously considering the M85 Parka too, I quite like it as a coat just as much as airsoft gear.

Re: $_Easternbloc loadout

So you are talking about Czechoslovakian Army not Czech Army, I am sure that when people are doing Vietnam loadout they wouldnt want to call Korean loadout so please keep it correct.

Re: $_Easternbloc loadout

I wrote 'Czech' as shorthand for Chechoslovakian, which yeah in hindsight may have been a little confusing. I won't do it in future.
