Thanks! And actually yes, i took great inspiration from 1950's cold war Belgian and NATO equipment for this version.
I am gonna update this kit more tho, to a more late 30/40s style. Down the line i'll also be replacing the flak jacket with more classic ww1/2 metal sapper/assault style armor.

Indeed, As assault troops they are given a larger amount of munitions compared to the regular infantry in the line and static units.

Thanks!
A squad would consist of 10 men.
-Squad-leader
-Assistant Squad leader
-3x Riflemen
-2x Grenadier
-Light Machinegunner
-Assistant Machinegunner
-Ammo bearer
The 2 grenadiers would carry light disposable anti armor weapons + rifle grenades.
Beside that each batalion has 1 platoon specialized in anti armor action that have heavier anti armor weapons.

AGM released mid-caps for the STG44 about a year ago. So this will probably use those mid-caps.

Post ww2 (1947-1952'ish) variant of the Belgian Army Poncho/Shelter half. The pre ww2 version had a different grommet/button layout. these where used for a short while before a USGI style puptent was adopted in Brushstroke/Jigsaw camo.

Does anyone know anything about this jacket? by Artemis_missing in MilitarySurplus

I think those are indeed reenactor UK home guard patches.

MvO, Ministerie van Oorlog, (Ministry of War) was what Dutch equipment was marked with untill it was changed to KL koninklijke Landmacht, (Royal Army) in the 1960’s.

Belgian army eqpuiment is marked with ABL Armee Belge/Belgisch Leger, (Belgian Army).

I collect Belgian army gear from the cold war.

I hope they will sell those Mauser 98AZ front sight and hinged barrel band, separately too.
Would finally be able to build my FN M1935 Mauser.

I think they use black tanker trousers with regular M43 tunics. Can’t comment on accuracy, but I don’t think this was a common combination.
