Here are some pictures of mine UK gear for airsoft and collection purpose. Any suggestions are welcome.
NI Royal Green Jackets circa 1975:
Mk. IV helmet with riot shield
Scrim scarf (modern issue)
NI gloves (repro)
Rifle green beret (current)
Pattern 68 combat smock
M69 US made flak vest
Airsoft L1A1 with nylon sling
First model of respirator case
Pattern 58 webbing consisting of belt, R+L ammo pouch, water bottle pouch (first model with twist fastener), butt-stock pouch (I know these were not really issued I got it as an interesting piece of kit)
Pattern 68 combat trousers (modified: removed lining and stitched that-thing-made-on-legs-by-ironing-I-can´t-remember-right-word-in-English)
Dr. Martens boots (not era appropriate, I should switch them for vintage model or NI patrol boots)
I am missing wooden truncheon and first pattern of steel riot shield.
Early 80s Paras:
same as above except
Maroon beret
Para smock
Pattern 58 webbing consisting of belt, yoke, L+R ammo pouches, pattern 44 water bottle pouch with US canteen, 4x water bottle pouches sewn together instead of kidney pouches and US compass/first aid pouch on yoke
I am still missing para helmet and DMR boots. I forgot to include puttees in the picture.
Falklands/late 80s (?):
same as above except
Jungle hat
Arctic Smock windproof
CEFO pattern 58 webbing including entrenching tool.
I am missing Mk. V helmet as I am too cheap to pay 30€ shipping for 15€ helmet...
I am the proudest about the spade and riot helmet as I think that I might be only one in Slovakia to have those items.
