Spacemonkey Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I would tend to agree... Some of my original lizards.. And as far as the French fighting man goes- Vive le Verdun.... a fine example of how fighting men refuse to be defeated by poor leaders against a strong enemy... Beware those ones from SOF- that model is a midget, and their Thai made Tigers that he models are made for Asians, so I wouldn't be suprised if the Froggy kit is too.. The originals are out there...

Trzewinski Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Benson, They are from French Foreign Legion. Really funny to see them there, in the heart of Paris. When it has been taken? Special event in Paris ? Because, I've never seen Legioners walking in the streets at Paris except for the July 14th (French military event). By the way, if they supesciously looked at you, it's normal Green berets are worn by the Foreign Legion or Naval Infantry. Marine Commando I believe Naval Infantry carry Dark Blue berets. Just a view of a Legioner Beret, on the left, and a Commando Marine on the right It seems the Commando Marines' berets are a bit larger than others. Spacemonkey, it's called Léopard. Not lizard. Great acquisition though. Greetings, Trzewinski. Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, if they supesciously looked at you, it's normal I remember that was the first week of July because it was free admission to the Louvre. And I also remember seeing them at some other frequently traveled places: Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur (spelling?), and Gare du Nord. Hehe at Gare du Nord I bumped into one not looking where I was going, gave me a good scare! Link to post Share on other sites

Pistol_Dude Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I can see that it's been a while since this thread was updated, but having recently acquired a few bits and bobs of French kit, I am contemplating getting a French load out together. I've got the F2 uniform, but quite fancy the current set up as used in Afghanistan. I have seen the modern British style smock and trousers for sale, but am unsure where to get an assault vest and frag. Any suggestions? Are Rangers used in Afghanistan, or ha a replacement been introduced? Is anyone else out there running a modern French loadout? If so, please post a few photos for inspiration.

Pistol_Dude Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 They use the Minimi as their LMG. Militaire du 3e RIMa armé d'une Minimi lors d'une patrouille la foire aux bestiaux Tagab. I've seen both the Scrome J4 and an Aimpoint mounted on the FAMAS. Here is an interesting pic of the Aimpoint in use.
