Default carrier

Love all the kit on it, looks awesome.
.30 cal too is unusual to my eyes. Was this done to many kiwi carriers?

Default Italy carriers

Hi Ryan, .30 - .50 cals were pretty common from photos I have found of carriers in use by NZ Div Cav, especially in Italy. Although my carrier is LP2A and never left NZ I am attempting to replicate one of these photos from Italy

Hi lew,
Accessorizing is the most fun part I believe. Carrier once again looks great. One with a .50 cal would be something to see.
Is that a camoflaged blitz in the background too?
