Hi I am trying to make a sole set of a Panzergrenadier Rottenfuehrer of 17SS.
The tunic that costs 85 bucks is from notoriously disdained ww2sale.com.
However, I am a neophyte here so I cannot make so sure of if it's a real crappy stuff.
I need some experts helps and replies that tell how its details, hue, the general proportions look.
Please feel free to give some feedbacks on this tunic.

The Insignias are just impromptu. Newly ordered insignias are on the way from ATF.

The M43 tunic, as a reproduction.... looks "close enough" on the outside for you're purposes...IMO. The inside is not very well done... but normally noone would see the inside for "display/reenactment" purposes.

The material, color, basic proportions are as close as you're going to get without paying alot more for fairly minor differances on a reproduction tunic.

Again, if for reenactment...you should be asking your unit leader (or whoever) these questions... are they acceptable?, etc.

Hope this helps... again, only my opinion... but I say "Good enough" for what you want to do... but it wouldn't fool anyone who knows the differance- which also is good.
