Perhaps it may be best to create our own threads, "Demichev:Gear." This way the threads will not be impossible to load. :)

That kinda looks German WW2, or am I mistaken?

I really like this hat, any more? ;)

Same design roughly, the Soviet's used that design right until the end, and the Russians still issue them today.

Added some more stuff... I don't think I have cataloged half the stuff I own...

Awesome display's there guys, some beautiful kit on display in your collections.

Why do Lifchiks and RD-54s always look so beat up? Even the ones claimed as being in good condition still look like hell to me.

Either way, nice kits guys.

because they are so... the sense of soviet uniform and equipment is to be cheap in order to have them enough for a big army..

Well, thats true up to a point, but its also due to the fact that the RD-54 isn't made anymore, and most of the specimens are quite old and would have had a lot of use.

Update.

Increased photo quality and combined some photos.

Added more hats & berets.
