Awaiting mine too! Glad to see that I'm not the only person sporting one on my side of the pond.

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. 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!

Thank you all for the welcome. 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 are ever nearby, just let me know!
For about eight years, aside from airsoft, I was also a board member of a not-for-profit Marine Corps history association. The signature event each year was a 4-day complete immersive where 6 participants would get a crash course in a recreated 1960's Marine Corps pre-deployment school. The course incorporated live-fire drills, blank fire, special effects like flash pots, flares and rockets, and (of course) airsoft. We based it on a course developed by the Corps that was located on Okinawa.
Here are a few more photos from the Huey. Enjoy.
