Hi there, this goes to Swiss Army modellers. I plan some models of Swiss Army vehicles. Could some figures in NATO uniforms, e.g. Bundeswehr or US Army, made as Swiss soldiers in Alpen-
flage or the current uniform or is the cut of the uniforms too different?
Did the Swiss Army use other headgear for tank and APC crews that the US CVC style helmet?
TIA

i write from Australia but i am Swiss,the cut of the uniform is not different from the NATO

Hi there, the links are much appreciated, thanks. I been to Armeetage 1998 at Frauenfeld and since them I got bitten by the Swiss bug. Fortunatly the Swiss Army uses many M113 variants. So to all manufacturers:
WE NEED A NEW-TOOLED STATE-OF-THE-ART M113 FOV!

Hi Hans,
if you like i can send you some pics of my uniform.
Cheers Christoph

i been at the Armmetage in Lugano 2007...

Probably exist more variants of the M-113 in the world then insects!!... ...

i get stuck for 1 hour in a Tunnel on the Sinplon pass with 2 M-113 in the front 2 in the back and my car like a sandwich...funny the first 5 minute then the smoke was so thick you can cut with a knife...
