I posted this to my profile thinking that it was a public posting to the forum. I discovered the difference. haha.

Hello all. My name is Roger and I live in the US. I have recently begun collecting info and bits to build four L119's - both A1/A2 carbine and shorties. Before I got into UK uniform and kit I did US Vietnam reenacting and airsoft for many years. Attached are a few photos of our squad that were used in one of the Airsoft magazines quite a few years back. The helo was a very special thing and not the everyday kind of event. ;) it was fun though. The bird is run by a local not-for-profit organisation near the San Francisco area. If you have questions about US Marine Corps Vietnam kit/collecting, I'm happy to answer. However, I'll be looking at your UK gear for tips and tricks to get all my new kit right. Cheers!

Welcome!  :)

Some nice action shots you've got there. 

 
Welcome!

Love the photos!

Always fancied a Vietnam kit. There's a guy at one of my local sites that has a great Vietnam and WWII Airborne loadout. Usually very envious when he turns up in them.

 
I've nearly finished mine, just need to source a yoke, tiger stripe rather than erdl though.
