My '93 US Ranger grenadier kit, it's heavy as shit and not practical but so good looking !
Desert boots, dcu pant and shirt, m17a1 gas mask with pouch, woodland RBA, 40mm vest, various alice pouches, belt and suspenders, pasgt with 6 color choccy chip cover and sun wind dust goggles. Everything is real deal except the m16a2 and the RBA which is from Squadron sew shop, enjoy !

 Includes six magazine pouches, two utility pouches, and a day pack. It is commonly used with desert camouflage or MARPAT camouflage OTV body armor and has also been combined with the Corsair-3M. It was acquired from Russia several years ago, and unfortunately, I haven't come across any similar items since, which is quite unfortunate.

I’m missing a 49th mp brigade patch to sew on-the MP thing , a new real either m1967 buttpack or 1956 buttpack but either way it looks good on how it is and any more details recommended in the comments on patches for the BDU and ranks and placement of certain items and on other stuff and material

Not a prefect impression, but I do enjoy the process of collecting every single pouch, no matter a real or a repro one, to put on my carrier and backpack.
adjusting the positioning is also a pretty interesting process. seaking where this or that pouch should be placed to gain most efficiency.

F1 webbing/FAMAS triple Pouches, FAMAS cleaning pouch, and small first aid Kit pouch. Canteen and carrier on belt, plus Gas Mask bag, I had both the ANP51/53 Bag and mask, but the bag was pretty rough, so I used one of the more modern vinyl ones, which the designation escapes me.

Real FAMAS 3-Point Sling

Chairsoft FAMAS by cybergun I think?

Boots are amazon cheap basic black lace-up boots, I think they are meant to be fashion boots, hence no padding or bulky structures, so they can be nice and skinny, like old military boots, the like cuff which is present on real French boots I simulated with leather scraps fastened by shoe laces.

I've looked online, but I'm yet to find information on why this has the tag of a MOLLE hand grenade pouch.

Was it a contract specific oddity, or a manufacturing error?

Thanks in advance for help.

It’s not perfect, but I was happy enough with this kit to show it publicly for the first time. Still on the hunt for a black buckle coyote IFAK with the original contents, as well as waiting to have FN money for an A4. I’m not sure if I’ll ever find an earlier TA31F with the embossed NSN and without the adjustment cap lanyard. Oh well, in the meantime, enjoy!

Btw i am currently trying to make an RPG-22 replica on my own, soo i hope i can get it finished by the end of the year bc i am poor rn

Lemme know if i missed something or i have a Farb item on it, i am trying my best to have a correct kit, and i highly appreciate any suggestions you give me.

have a great day guys!

I've been working on collecting the full kit of a soldier of the French Army to go with my recently acquired Northeast FAMAS. So specifically I'm looking to portray a soldier circa 1978 to the mid-late 80s or so. In theory, I should be wearing an "F1" or "F2" uniform, but most sources I can find are contradictory at best on what's actually F1, or F2, or earlier M64, etc. etc. I've got all the webbing and such, but the uniform itself has proven to be a huge mess of information.

From what I can gather, I believe I currently have an F2 top, and F1 trousers. (I started by getting what was both affordable and would fit me.) But anyways. F1 is far greener, with blatantly HBT woven fabric, while the F2 is much more grey-green, and closer to Bundeswehr "moleskin" fabric, correct?

Because I'd like to move onto the confusing parts. I'm about 95% sure this is a Modèle 64 "Satin 300" field shirt, with regular buttons used on the cuffs and the waist pockets. Additionally, said pocket buttons are covered by the pocket flap. Anyways, I've seen it listed as an F1 before, but I'm (nearly) sure it's not at all an F1.

Now, the shirt I have in my own pictures was listed as an F1 shirt, but I believe this is an actual example. Very similar cut to the M64, but more velcro patches, snap fasteners with smooth heads on the cuffs and waist pockets, and (not super visible in this pic but) fabric that is identical to the pants I posted above. Additionally, no elastic pleats on the hem of the shirt.

Next pic is often listed as either F1 OR F2, but more often as the latter. Like the one I own, it's the much more grey fabric, and the snap fasteners have a pebbled texture on the heads. It also lacks the waist drawstring of the example above. These ones also lack waist pockets entirely. One of the more common things I see said is that the F2 lacks the waist pockets of the F1, but just as often I've seen claims that the later F1 was produced without waist pockets, or that the early F2 was produced with the waist pockets. The F2(?) also has two elastic pleats on the hem, one each just behind the wearer's hips.

I've also seen people state that it's only an F2 uniform once it's in Dauget or CCE pattern, but I'm almost certain this is incorrect.

To make things more confusing, I've seen examples with combinations/lack or features, such as a waist cord and pockets on the grey-green shirt, or pebble buttons on the greener HBT fabric. Also an HBT uniform with one big elastic pleat in the rear center, and the epaulettes used snap fasteners as well.

Another thing I've seen said is that the grey fabric is actually for "local" European use, while green HBT was for overseas deployments. But conversely I've seen it said that the HBT was the original F1 fabric, and the grey-green fabric was introduced around '85-'86 due to durability concerns.

As for trousers, I believe that mine are the F1 model, in green HBT, but I've seen these two both sold as F1 (and also as F2).

More commonly I'll see the pants with the elastic ankle cuffs referred to as F2, but I feel like this might be similar to the two versions of the grey-green shirt, just being an early and then later version both under the same designation.

Anyways, someone please help me out before I give in to the desire to toss my brain into a blender. Or at the least, tell me this is all due to manufacturer's differences, and no one in the logistics system at the time would have cared about what I'm trying to dissect.

Behold, finally got a proper photo shoot with my kit in the field. I've been obsessed with the Vietnam war for a bit that I've also been using their tactics to great effect lol, who knew crawling is actually pretty comfy

I'm looking to add a bit more to it, 'cause nothing is ever done huh? Sew a canteen carrier, make a dummy e-tool, and eventually make a more accurate uniform. Also have an RPG-2 project in the making, and of course I'll be making a matching rocket bag for it.
