Hey there Guys,
It's been a while since I last posted, a combination of computer problems and summer weather kept me occupied. Now it's back to the fun of modeling. I have a question regarding the crews gear that's on the British Challenger 2 and Warrior IFV used in OIF. Is it the same as the US equipment i.e., MRE boxes, ammo cans, field packs, etc.? I haven't seen that many photo's of this armor in action for OIF, therefore I am at a bit of a loss for reference. Also, are there kits that have this gear, like the Tamiya Modern US?
Any help or reference will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

sorry to say most of the gear is different and you will find as well within a section/crew the field packs/bergens will be different ranging from issue to private purchace kit it's possable that they might have had mre meals due to supply issues ect but dont expect to add the stowage one the sides ect like the Bradleys/M1's as it's always stowed away in the wagon
