Alan this is a good review but it must be the most expensive way of getting the items, or am I missing something as regards injection plastic offerings? I will add that the price is less than I expected.
I have a supply of these as I have more land troops to build for my Nan Red project and as the Commandos all wore bergens on D Day no other choice. Where other sets do provide the 43 respirator case it is way out of scale and the bandoliers are most useful.
As I've gotten the Airborne bug, these are really useful for the Air Landing Brigade chaps as well.
MB are the only folks who make a plastic Bergan and it's OK but not great. Also It's not one I need but many lol, lol.
Marc,
You must have been unlucky all my bayonets arrived intact.
