My IDF (Israeli Defence Force) Impression, Mk.1
Took my new IDF kit for a spin over the weekend, a bit of a mix this one I admit, a kit I went for after watching "Waltz with Bashir":
King Arms Galil: Fantastic AEG, well chuffed with it. Maybe a bit old I know for the new look kit (especially with the wooden foregrip), but its a Galil for God's sake! I can't NOT use it!
BDU's: The uniform, the Raful bush hat, the helmet cover and bands are all authentic (from Zahal.com). Really comfy to wear, especially in the heat.
The Dubon winter Jacket was from ebay, the boots are Russian Paratrooper boots (The IDF can pretty much be seen in any type of footwear!)
The Helmet is a British Mk6 with the bulges at the side cut off then wire mesh put in place to cover the holes. Its REALLY hard to get a IDF Helmet in my size.
The vest is a proper Marom vest from Zahal.com and its a great buy. Can fit Galil/AK size mags aswell as M16, perfect for a "Merc" look for general play.
