Ya want to be 'Semper Fi' not 'Semper Pie'!

Lol.

I'm skinny fit. No need for bulkiy muscles when running 42.2Km

Conker, should be a good loadout, interested in seeing the whole thing.


Also, just a FYI you have to be a bit careful with those MAST kits. Easy to get those cables caught in things and yank stuff out, or leaning against something with your back can snap/damage an antenna. It's not a easy thing to do, but it is a possibility. Also, the short whip antennas, would be easier to just say UHF(and higher end VHF) antenna instead of the freq range, IMO anyways. Also, just something to consider, you might one one UHF short whip with the 3ft VHF whip. UHF for talking to A/C and VHF for ground forces(as well choppers). But of course depending on the comms plan you may need 2 UHF antennas as you can see in some of your ref pictures.


What other JTAC kit do you have by the way? ie IZLID, JFIRE, map/compass, GPS, etc

[scottyfox]

The latter three would be easy but the day an airsofter rolls up with an IZLID, I give up.

Well, not a real one, that would be quite suspect and draw questions. I meant a reproduction one, seems like theres repros of everything else.

[Conker]

Map, Compass, Pro-Tractor: Yes.
GPS: Yes.
Big-ass binos: Yes, but didn't have the time to find the proper Steiners at a decent price.
IZLID: I did look for a replica without success.
Dual-comms: Yes.
JFIRE: I do have a PDF copy, but to be honest I don't see how including it in the photoshoot can be interesting :P
Toughbook CF18: Would've been pretty cool, and not that hard to find, but too expensive to get just as a prop.

As for the antennas, on the previous page picture, I have two whips, but I'll have a whip (broadband in. air; 90-512) and a blade (VHF ground; 30-108) for he shoot.

As for the pictures on my blog, if you look closely, both antennas are whip BUT their thickness and lenght is a bit different, so I believe one is VHF, and one is upper VHF/UHF.

When you talk about air/ground do you mean you will use the UHF antenna for speaking to notional A/C and VHF for notional ground forces? Or UHF is only for air and VHF is only used for groundforce comms?

[Conker]

Yes, the one in the foreground has a shortened VHF antenna.

But I was talking about him:

Rog,

12011-2710-01 | Broadband Blade Antenna
A short 20-meter rated mini blade antenna that covers the
AN/PRC-152’s full 30-512 MHz frequency range for multiband
operations. (Supplied with 20-meter maritime version).

Just a 'lil teaser of what's comin'

[Vince]

Until I edit the rest

[Conker]

Lol, who's the pocket-sized guy in the middle?

Oh wait-

[Heiligen Wherewolf]

Had some spare time today to do some photos, I am aware that mine is nothing compared to all of yours but I make it work on my low budget. Also the Coyote Pack is wrong but it fits my 2 hpa tanks well for my Polarstar so i'm going to make due with it for awhile.





Most of all gear is Repro, but kitlist upon request

To do:
- Replace POS Replica ACH straps with Ops-core
- Swap the VAS shroud for a Norotos (let me know if you can get one cheap)
- Paint the helmet in a slightly lighter CB the CB now is abit dark in person
- Purchase MARSOC signature CSM Tactical Fanny
- New U94 PTT and more Chem sticks
- Get my P* back up and running.

Feedback preferred, thanks!
