Gigueand Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Found these on a quick ebay search. Can't comment on authenticity, but it just shows you that these things are floating around out there. And another. And yet another... these things are all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites
sgtHanzo Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Found these on a quick ebay search. Can't comment on authenticity, but it just shows you that these things are floating around out there. And another. And yet another... these things are all over the place. Nice find, Gigueand! I'll be on the prowl for a size 7.5 or 8, US. I've small, VC feet. hahaha. Here are some gear I've recently purchased (incoming within the week). Equipment - Water canteen (with web carrier) - NVA Rucksak - VC boonie Weapons - RS Type 56 - RPG-7 (nerf rocket/compressed air) Now if we can only get more VN re-enactment airsoft events here in the midwest, I'd be good-to-go! Many thanks to those who'd stepped up to offer their advices/links! Hanzo, out. Link to post Share on other sites
kken Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 hanzo, most excellent photos and kit. the easiest place to get tire sandals is at sampan.com. i'm surprised someone hasn't alreayd mentioned it or if they did, i skipped over it lol. one of my teammates has a pair and says they are the most uncomfortable things to acutally play in. but for photo ops they are totally legit. i'll assume you know that best of the worst II nam event in IL is this weekend, right?

kroot Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Looking good! Inspiration for us as we're getting a V.C unit together at the moment. Any give me an idea how much French kit I can use as V.C? I've got originals of belts,waterbottles mat49 ammo pouches etc. Was much of the French kit used? Also does anyone know if the AGM MP40 mags will fit okay in the ChiCom chest rigs? Would they close up as well? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
slick63 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I`m reasonably sure the belt and mag pouches would be fine, don`t think I`ve seen pics of VC wearing a french water bottle though, but who knows.... MP40 mags should fit in the chestrig pouches. Pic of my local VC gear, the sandals are modern and the yellow is hidden once they`re being worn, and they`re surprisingly comfy to run around in as the sole is quite wide. I`ve since got hold of a VC bush hat and made a jungle factory shoulder bag instead of the buttpack. Link to post Share on other sites
evilbunny21 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I've been having trouble trying to find any black pyjama like clothes for a VC impression, I would have thought it to be easier but after alot of searching I've still found nothing. I've heard somone say about tesco's, but they don't have anything and sampan imports stuff is pricey. Any decent sources for the pyjamas or atleast something similar? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

I've got originals of belts,waterbottles mat49 ammo pouches etc. Was much of the French kit used? Really, I think you could justify a pretty good deal of French kit. VC weren't issued gear, so whatever they could get their hands on made up their combat gear. The French were not too careful about what they left behind when they left Vietnam, so it's conceivable that VC would have snagged a good amount of it. Link to post Share on other sites
dog green 1 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Top impression hanzo. Being asian might be optional but it certainly adds to the authenticity Great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

kroot Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Looks like I'll use the French stuff mixed in with the Vietnamese stuff then. Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard somone say about tesco's, but they don't have anything and sampan imports stuff is pricey. Any decent sources for the pyjamas or atleast something similar? Thanks I've used black BDUs. They look pretty good from afar and have additional pockets. If the collar bothers you, you can fold it under or convert it to a mandarin collar (google it). Link to post Share on other sites

kken Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 your local thrift store is your best bet to be honest. get any loose fitting cotton clothes... and then dye it black or gray or whateve color you want. Link to post Share on other sites
Yith Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 On footwear the NVA boots now seem to be readily available. I got a pair from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vietcong-NVA-combat-...=item2ea6ba48e4 They really are very comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites

sgtHanzo Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks, Schultz. It's an easy-enough impression to do; and doesn't cost as much as a modern one. Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Looks perfect Hanzo. For the sake of correctness i think it would have been highly unlikely to see a VC using a AK47 but seeing as how airsoft choices are limited that is basically the only option. Been looking for something to stuff into my rice tube. I swear i have seen something that resembles plastic rice used for packing but i wonder if i did real rice and threw in a bunch of the moisture packets if it would hold up for a weekend long event. My bamboo bowl and chopsticks are lonely lol. A few NVA from the event this past weekend Link to post Share on other sites
kken Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 azul, i have had real rice in my ricetube for the better part of a year now. as long as it stays dry and out of overly humid areas for extended periods of time, that rice can last a long long time. hanzo, great pics but i would lay off the tacticool poses. things like AK held at tact-ready to shoulder and trigger finger discipline just screams modern.

The Crunchy Bunny Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I got a NVA Pith Helmet in the post today for a SOG pointman impression, and I was wondering how you make it fit where it's not super floppy and rides on the top of your dome piece? Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I thought of a witty reply but decided against it... I didn't want to take the pith On a serious note, a friend of mine owns a pith helmet and IIRC his isn't adjustable. Maybe some kind of bandanna under the hat? Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll try it because right now, that thing would fall off of my head before I even got on the field Link to post Share on other sites
hburn Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll try it because right now, that thing would fall off of my head before I even got on the field Punch one hole on either side and run a piece of para cord from each side. it works great and does not look weird forr the impression.
