I’ve known a few people who have put together outfits like this, but oddly, none of them want to portray what most grunts were REALLY wearing at the time, their MOPP suit. Finding a OD green MOPP suit probably wouldn’t be too tough. You would likely wanted to strip out the thick lining for it, but get some tape to look like the chemical detector tape, but some 100-mile-an-hour tape in some spots would be good as well. Early MOPP boots might be tough to find, but many soldiers went to MOPP2, the oversuit without gloves, foot covers and mask/hood, through the actual fighting. Any vet of that campaign would appreciate your doing that look.

 

12 Years late but here you go, my impression.

 

 

24th Infantry Division (Mech), during the Ground War.

 

 

and then Desert Shield for the fun of it.

Im working on getting my hands on an M16A2 so I’ll take updated pictures once I get that. Also I am working on an 82nd Airborne Gulf Impression so I will post that here when I’m done.
