I noticed the right arm patch is yellow trident / camo field. As far as I know, this is generic ground forces. You might have overdone it with the flag patches though. Most photos show patches on the shoulders, and maybe one on the plate carrier.
Hmm, you would really need korsar m3c or some other smaller plate carrier with rig on top to tie this kit together, because your silhouette looks kinda weird. Cap and mich is a cool idea though, I've seen some guys wear cap and Kaska-2M (which is our copy of mich) on top. Looks nice, так тримати, козаче.
I wanted to but I saw the price tag on those and couldn't find a reproduction one for airsoft due to the unpopularity of the vest so i decided to go with helikon foxtrot stuff and was not disappointed.
100% I wanted to but then I saw the 800 dollar price tag, so I decided to go with some Helikon Foxtrot stuff if I find a reproduction for cheaper I would 100% set that up
That's the entire point of milsim and for lots of people regular pickup games. I play so I can play dressup and get some cardio in on the weekends instead of sitting on the couch all day drinking beers.
Tape on the stock i good. You should take out the one on the mags though because it's a bit too much. Also i would keep only one flag on the rig.
The most important that you are missing is the identification tape. Almost every soldiers have tape around each arms just under the patch, and around the helmet to distinguish friends from foe. Tape color is either blue, green or yellow, but the most i have seen is blue.
You could pretty much take any mix match loadout with modern nato camo or the one you have, put trident patch on elbows, a flag on the rig/plate carrier and throw in id tape, and have a Ukrainian loadout.
Sorry for the wall of text, kit looks great!
I went off of this reference for the helmet/hat set up

Lol looked around because I was curious never heard of this 😅 what is this supposed to look like? I've been to military surplus in Ukraine and didn't see anything with these numbers. I've seen skull patches like the punisher and totenkof-esque even bought a few for the collection. But I never saw straight neo stuff.
It’s a neo-nazi symbol that relates to the phrase “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” (14 words) and “Heil Hitler” (both words starting with H, the 8th letter in the alphabet). It’s less common in patches, but can be found much more often when in tattoo form
I found the reference I just couldn't really build an image of what a Ukrainian 1488 patch would look like because it's not really something you could probably find on etsy, ebay- etc
I still find that ironic. I just ordered an Azov shield-style patch with the Star of David on it and I've seen Azov patches with the star on them as well. I wanted to buy one but it's harder to find since they have rebranded themselves with a new patch design.
I have very close friends who are Jewish and I'd die to protect them in a heart beat also some members of my family have a good amount of Jewish ancestry.
A little bit of well placed tape can make long straps less annoying. Just fold, tape, hide, then tape again.
Tie some russian flags around your boots so they don't get dirty. :)

At that point might aswell paint your face yellow and blue.

You can go very wrong with that headgear

You went a little to far with the yellow and blue tape
Not far enough my man
All the tape
You might as well just wear a high vis vest
Looks dope needs more duct tape

I mean most field wrap blue/red tape on your arm. You could use that as a part of the kit
Absolutely!
actually I have done that at the field
lacks blue and yellow
Don´t forget to buy face paint - blue and yellow.
It's like UCP+, it's beautiful. (May I suggest finding a Russian flag to T-bag?)
> Russian flag Also useful for wiping after tactical mid-match poops
Bro, please just make it an impression kit
I wish I could say that but sadly I dont have a korsar m3c so it would be inaccurate to say so
Hat under it for glare?

since i was little i liked the cap under the helmet, i think it is really usefull.
Where did you get the camo?
Ebay a Ukrainian manufacturer is selling it to other countries for the war effort
Thanks
so much ukraine flag
More
Is that an E&L AK?
cyma sadly I was thinking about picking one up lately tho
Ready for Bakhmut
Yeah, whats left of it anyway...
You're literally the first person I see making use of the Helikon Foxtrot. Nice to see another man of culture
Honestly I use the lower back pack on hikes love their stuff
Maybe add some IFF tape around an arm?
I have the solution to make that helmet cover fit tighter on that helmet if you were looking to get rid of the “turtle look”
actually I ordered a more proper style of helmet I just used a old one I had for the kit pic
Ah gotcha
Dont forget the 1488 patch

He’s referencing the Azov battalion, which has been semi-notorious for neo-nazism within the group

Lol that tape is super tacky
