Afghan National Directorate of Security brown woodland uniform with patches and black plate carrier.  Interestingly enough, the soldier has sewn a large piece of fabric to the back portion of the front.  This was done so a hard plate could be inserted.

Really like the NDS ERDL camo with the vest.

 

I've seen some online, but almost all are gone now. Hard to find unless one doesn't mind repros.

  Thanks for your comment.  The NDS stuff has indeed dried up, but was never much to begin with though,

Yep, 'Tis a shame. I don't mind having the Platatac stuff anyway.

 

I know a group of airsofters in HK that are doing clones of it. But that's it. Just clones.

Yikes!!!  It was bound to happen at some point in time though.  Now I'm glad I recently grabbed the NDS set on Ebay that was US advisor used.

I remember seeing that (I think) on Ebay. Couldn't commit at the time since I was doing my Masters.

 

Oh well, there's always NDS patches.
