Help with Trumpeters Modern US figures- Gear
Posted by BeltFed on Monday, March 21, 2011 1:41 PM

Im building Trumpeters US Modern infantry and Crew (http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=4867) and ran into a problem. There are several different pouches and packs to be fitted on each figure, except i havent the slightest clue on which ones to use for which. The instructions are no help.  There are two figures armed with M4's and one with a SAW.  Can anyone tell me what pouches to equip the figures with, or any pics that might help? thanks!

Google M4 ammo pouches, then you'll see which ones were used to hold the ammo for the M4 rifles.

Here is a pretty typical IBAs set-up.  The M4 ammo pouches are the three on the front w/the sage green flaps.  The beauty of the IBAs is that you can set it up per your own needs.  The pouches can be put on in just about any way.

There are thousands of photos on line of troops in all sorts of situations that can be used for reference, I've been looking at them for several weeks for a Dio I'm working on.

A good start would be their Flickr account. Wink

If you ignore most of the comments by posters another good source is Military Photos.

Go on-line and "Google" MOLLE Gear.  Should get you military references and military gear catalogs like Brigade Quartermaster and the U.S. Cavalry Store.  Check out Strategypage.com for military photos.  Either way this should result in pictorial overload.
