PDX area WWIi players

Postby tommyboy » Thu Apr 08, 2010 11:58 pm

wanted to ket a feel for about how many airsofters in the Portland Metro Area that have a WWII kit. Doesnt matter what "country's" kit you have; U.S. (both army and Marine), UK, Germany, russian, italy & Japan. If you have a WWII kit sound off, and include a bried summary of your kit to if you would please.
___________________________________________________
I myself I have a dual kits, both US Marine (M42 camo HBT's) and Army in the "OD" dungaries. My army kit can go both standard infantry or Ranger and I will be finalizing my Army Paratrooper kit here soon I hope.
My Marine kit, I have both the OD colored HBT Dungaries and the P42 dual camo (Jungle/ Sand reversible) I have modeled my Marine 'camo' kit off of the Marine Raieder BN's.
weapons: M1A1 Thompson, M1 Garand & Trenchgun. I have a BAR on order which should be here soon. and am working to raise funds for the M1919 Browning 30cal.
sidearm is an M1911 and a revolver as back up.
also
I am also working at putting together a British Royal Marine Commando kit, I have a STEN already and am looking for the Browning Automatic sidearm that I want to get. not too optioins for a webley revolver out there. and before I finsih the kit I have to do more research as to the proper gear, uniform etc etc. only wish I could find an airsoft "Enfield SMLE" :D

I can do British/Canadian Paratrooper, and Infantry.
I'm in the process of finishing an American Paratrooper, and German Panzer Commander impression.

Over at Manicotti Events, we're preparing to put together a series of WWII Airsoft events, that hopefully will encourage people to put down the M4's and pick up M1's.

I have a smattering of WW2 German camouflage in unrealistic BDU cut. I had an MP40 until a recent fire sale.

Given short notice and a game worth attending, I could become an SS para.

Weapon wise, I have two Thompson M1A1 AEGs and a 1911 singlestack. Eventually getting the Sten AEG.

Impression wise, I have serge battledress, denim battledress, Denison smock, khaki drill and a few sets of webbing. Thus, I can do Brit Para, Commando and infantry for ETO, Mediterranean or North Africa.
