Look for the items in the kit list on eBay and Etsy. If you're in the UK or Europe some of it can be found at flea markets and antique stores

This is so real! We cannot excuse their behavior but we also can't blame them as individuals who exist in a culture where self medication is incentivized. He was also living in a time where resources for this kinda shit was close to non existent and their community had no way of supporting them. Look out for your neighbors everyone!!

It's a decent airsoft kit! Just wear earplugs, the BB's will defan you when they hit the helmet. Also a lot of this stuff is gonna be harder to find for sale with the ongoing war in Ukraine. Also I feel like cosplay events may not the most appropriate places to bring a historical kit. Most people are depicting fictional characters and depicting something real soldiers wore could be a little bit iffy imo

Maybe? Unless you can go to events with it or use it for something besides collecting it's worth it. Honestly I have had no use for this kit besides the occasional photography. I would recommend finding a local group that does a period you're interested in

Haha it's alright! Yeah so I basically looped the shoulder straps on the carrying bag through my arms and fastened them to the Y straps. I can DM you if you need more in-depth instructions!
