Hey, Hey! I actually will be meeting a fabricator directly tomorrow shop.ebay.com/koliya1985/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340I will be buying direct with a discount from the above gentleman. Seems very nice on the phone. I'm buying his Russian M35 Gimnasterka and breeches. I'm going to ask about fabrication of other items (Russian stuff), so if you wish me to ask please post here. -kalbs-

Great Kalbs,
Not specifically about russian stuff but if you have a chance to look at it, I'd like your opinion on his Pea pattern tunic and pants. Perhaps you could ask him to do enlisted man's pilotka as well as a larger range of collar tabs and shoulder boards. Webbing equipment to go with his y straps would be great as well.

Just a quick update from our meeting. One-zero and I met with Mr. Fun Leung this afternoon.
We picked up (3) sets of M35 gimnasterkas with breeches and a pair of Russian web y-straps. Very nice products and his prices beat everyone elses I've seen. Not only that but he will be releasing more Soviet stuff very soon. It get's better, we discussed a way to get stuff direct to PI without worries of taxes, poor shipping and etc.
He will be releasing in very soon: -PPsH Pouches -M43 gimnasterkas -Gas Mask Bag (Ver 1) -Enlisted pilotka with badge -Brown leather belt
The M35 and breeches we purchased is the correct pattern and Soviet Cotton/Rayon fabric and includes the correct Soviet metal buttons and subdude collar tabs. The Y-starps are excellent too and he showed us the bottle bag which again is well made and too WW2 spec.
Those interested in starting your Soviet immpression stay tuned as we asked Fun, (Mr. Leung) to join our website so he can hear directly our WW2 gear needs and wish lists.

I just heard today the a China PPsH is coming too and quite soon. I asked at cop9gun and they will follow up with an email. I never saw the peadot but Fun stated on that others have stated as his Peadot color is 100% accurate. However he also said most peadot on the market the HBT material is too perfect compared to the crappy HBT produced by the Germans during late WW2.

Soviet Comrades,
One-Zero and I confirmed that they are not the same person. BTW, he has lots more Red stuff. I will see him today for a few items like back pack, Type-1 gas mask bag and 2 more hats (Pilotkas). One-zero & I picked up our Enlisted Pilotkas with red stars last Saturday, excellent and well made.

Top of the page Doc is the eBay link. He does not have the padded jacket yet but hopefully soon, we asked. I'll model the stuff soon.
