Cold War Airsoft.


Recommended Posts

I've found some old 1960s czech 'mlok' /'salamander' / 'sunflower' camo in my spare kit box.

 

Anyone know what the market value is for it, i know its pretty rare but i'm wondering if its worth hanging on to.

it´s still a rare item... welcomed by collectors ;)

Some very quick pics done this afternoon.

 

80s VDV or possibly GRU spetsnaz

 

Unfortunately I've yet to acquire some ak ammo pouches and I *know* its a 47 and a 74 bayonet.

 

KLMK is mismatched but actually brought back from Afghanistan and had been filed modded, has some campaign ribbon on it and locally made jump wings.

 

KZS suit is also made with variable colours some of the 'sunspots' are grey not beige.

 

VDV beret was bought in Prague years ago as was the 'tele' vest in an old backstreet secondhand store.

 

Basically never skirmished this kit but might do at some point although i might replace the KLMK smock as its incredibly valuable in comparison to the rest of it.

Fascinated by this topic

My reenactment group portray the British Army from 1960 to 1989 so I have been building my collection of period gear and will be getting an L1A1 as soon as i can scrape the cash together lol

It's nice to see more variation in load outs rather then just the BDU and M4 brigade

I'm trying to track down some LC2 webbing at the moment. Flecktarn.co.uk used to do a bunch but they've really narrowed their stock now. Any where else or is it just a case of slowly tracking it all down on ebay?

 

Cheers!

 

P.S Specifically I'm trying to find the belt, harness, some ammo pouches (so far not hard) possibly a water bottle, belt hoslter and some kind of medium sized utility pouch (plus a pistol mag pouch if they exist?)

img1455sp9.jpg

 

 

Kit list for those pics:

 

Ssh68 Helmet

M69 BDU (only recieved today so needs to be ironed)

Fighting load webbing: AKM pouch and grenade pouch

British Army assault boots

weapon is AK74 (incorrect for webbing set up, but not incorrect to scale of issue)

 

Need to get:

 

AKM

Motor Rifles Insigna- Red shoulder boards and colar tabs, arm patch

Gas mask and bag

Replace assault boots with soviet "jack boots"

(possibly) replace Ssh68 with Ssh40 or Ssh 60, I might keep it how it is, but prefer the look of the '40.

wipe mud off helmet and possibly get a helmet net

Cool thread!! Me and some mates are thinking of doing pre-NATO Hungarian paras in Feb at Ground Zero.. Friend of ours was one back in the day and gave us a load of uniforms. It's a fantastic pattern for autumnal woodland..

Compare it with the NATO friendly new colours:

You should come down to the Gunman Coldwar games mate with kit like that.

 

Convoy! :D

 

Anyway, some pics from our Gunman events that a bunch of us attend. All random and of various Arnies people (guess the member game is go!):

There's loads more where that came from. If anyone thinks it looks like their cuppa tea (and in fairness everyone has been to a game so far has said it is), then there's reviews over in the review section, and an upcoming winter game in Suffolk. Break out the winter kit! :D
