Nkomo Posted August 2 Author Share #3 Posted August 2 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. Afghan tiger stripe uniform used specifically by the Afghan Local Police Paktika Special Police led by Colonel Azizullah Parwan (Col Aziz). Theater made green MARPAT used by the very early Afghan Security Forces and supplied by the USSF/CIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominae Posted August 9 Share #4 Posted August 9 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo Posted August 12 Author Share #5 Posted August 12 Thanks for your comment. The NDS stuff has indeed dried up, but was never much to begin with though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a group of airsofters in HK that are doing clones of it. But that's it. Just clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm glad I recently grabbed the NDS set on Ebay that was US advisor used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominae Posted August 15 Share #8 Posted August 15 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
