The Waco Kid

I miss read your post. I though you said “I can’t recommend Halfords paints” 😉

The simplest thing would be to find some images of the location and period in question and take inspiration from that. You probably realise that Russia has a number of agencies with fingers in the “internal security” pie and they have a miriad of uniforms, insignia (or not), equipment and a sometimes puzzling mix of issue kit but plus what they picked up in Mere (Lidl type shop). What I’m saying is either try for a specific unit and research them as Russia has made masses of variations to list all of them. Or settle for a general kit that supports the weapons you’ve chosen. If you like flora go for it and look for decent quality chest to start with like the Pioneer M4; Gorod assault vest; MVD & OMON vests et. I’m sure someone will point out that you need blue addidas trainers. 🙄 Sposn and Bars kit are online. I think Oleg at Rusmilitary is still going. Plenty on eBay. Grey-shop is a another source.

Rogerborg is right on this. Even custom made items are covered by your statutory rights. Specifically if they fundamentally flawed or faulty. If you bought the item over the internet, ie distance selling. You have more time to complain and return but as you seem to have contacted them immediately it should not be an issue. Chargeback and good luck.

Is Krylon paint not avaiable? Never had issues with that.

Two tone is probably needed but a brightly coloured gun like object in public will not stop the police being called. Not is it bulletproof… As a old pre VCRA codger I’ll tell a story that happen to me some years back. Early 2000’s I was walking along a residential street in Southhall when a teenager of Middle Eastern ethnicity wearing a green m65 coat, red and white shemagh and carrying a G3 comes barrelling out of an alley right into me. Luckily for him I was probably one of the few adults then who had any real knowledge of Airsoft. This probably hasn’t changed. To an extent even within the Police. I told him not to be a stupid dead **** and to think about why. He went inside rapidly to use the toilet. A friend of mine got raided for unrelated reasons and when the Police officers found a TM MP5 in the wardrobe they really though they’d struck detective gold. Anyway it’s all subjective. A tiny flat or small garden you’r far more likely to attract attention. A private estate in the country, no one will care if you are firing a semi-auto shotgun out of the Ferrari’s window while pulling donuts. 😉

Nice to have, wasn’t sure from the image. Less is sometimes more with garnish. I’ve probably got too much on my hood. Try it in a game, you will need to find players who have a more than a 10 second attention span though!

Late 90’s/early 2000’s US SWAT. Inspired by the old HKpro website and my go to kit for Combat South Urban. “You’re either Swat, or you’re not” Kit list: Helmet TC Gallet PASGT style iiia k-pot with 4 point suspension, fabric cover and Paulson Tactical Goggles and lens tear offs. Hatch Operator gloves (truely superb dexterity), hatch knee and elbow pads. Blackhawk industries Urban Assault Vest (respirator pouch not shown). Blackhawk industries droplet holster. Northwest tactical Single point bungee sling. Motorola Sabre radio and handset. Gibson and Barnes/Flightsuits Nomex Tactical two piece uniform. TG Faust iiia promax tactical ballistic vest. Collar, upper arm and groin armour removed (as a little bulky) but great for entries! KSC Glock17 and Classic Army MP5. Yes, I could roll like John Woo in it.

Yup I really like magazines… TM based RPK plus age appropriate sidearm. The garnish is because I wore it with full Russian kit including Leshy. Players initially thought they were engaging a sniper… and then regretted trying to get closer. Happy days at Elite Worthing. Very fine AEG to use, maximum fun. Could put mesh over the lens of course. 😁

I’ve just realised I have a magazine fetish, no that kind of magazine. 😉 TM MPK PDW with tracer unit. Subgun ranger pulls so Magpul must have been in business by then.

From before Magpul were a thing…. And yes I have been known to carry all these mags. Star individual weapon and custom crow gun using TM shell.
