I think BarryLyndon28 at Spearhead Militaria on eBay makes a Windjacke closest to the original olive green color. Horrido! Papa Looking at Spearhead, he does two colours - "Fieldgrey" and "Khaki", which one is the one you refer to/which is best? "Fieldgrey": http://cgi...

I'm no expert on RAD / NSKK, but noticed these the other day: http://www.landser.com/nskk_cap_eage.aspx plus helmet decals: http://www.landser.com/helmet_decals_2.aspx Reference wise, I've got Osprey Men At Arms 254 Wehrmacht Auxiliary Forces, which includes details on NSKK/RAD uniforms, but I'm sur...

You're sorted then for June

Yep - I would be - but currently, it doesn't look like I will get there this year...

I bought a Hiki M38 side cap about a year ago. The advert stated to ask for a specific coloured soutache, and giving a list of them, which I did (Aufklarungs golden yellow) but a cap arrived with a PZ pink soutache. When I informed Hiki of their mistake and asked how the problem was going to be sol...

Cheers Stig - yeah, those SOF ones look identical to the ones I got from Landser in the 'States - I'll trawl through some M44 tunics. Cheers for that mate.

There are, I think, 3 main types of generic litzen. Three green stripes on grey, three grey/brown stripes on grey and the late war with 2 thin dark grey and a central medium grey stripe.

Cheers - I'll get him to knock some up then....

Sounds good to me - sometimes the Blue Peter approach is the only option....

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for that John - I was wondering about the shoulderboards and collar patches - how did you do them? Did you convert army officers Aufklarungs or signals collar patches and add a white stripe to the middle somehow? If so how did you go about it? What about the shoulderboards? Sorry for all the ...

Thanks for posting those pics Schäfer - they're great. Nice visor Brigardefuhrer, spot on..!

Hard to tell from a photo, but possibly aged RAL 6006 as you say, or more likely just dark Schiefergrau/slate grey...?
