Hello IDF experts out there,
Someone asked if I could CAD and 3D print some stowage accessories for IDF scenes from the 70s and 80s. In particular something like below (circled in AFV Club’s M113 box art):

I was going to see if I can use the US military gear during the VN War but they do not look alike as far as I can tell - https://www.gear-illustration.com/2016/12/24/vietnam-war-rucksacks-and-packs/?fbclid=IwAR0Di2WnH64LnVIaQnUJD2POAct89u2UAd_aJZtH8nizSxcTgZnCDS5EB50 when loking at at the backpacks and rug sacks.

Can some of you point me to what these could be and any good reference photos for me to CAD?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
James

I’ll leave it to the more knowledgeable membership to step in with more detail.

Unfortunately, no. You need a dedicated IDF gear set.

So you don’t know any websites or photo galleries?
That’s OK if you don’t.

@Frenchy, maybe you have some access to photos? :wink:

Kindly,
James

Just adding my .02 cents to the thread. i think the Israelis used a lot of vintage British Pattern 37 webbing gear that you can use as reference; specially with the packs.

This is great, Reynier! I need to look for more photos of British Pattern 37 webbing gear and use them as reference to CAD. Thanks a lot.

You’re welcome :wink: According to the caption, the Pattern 37 Haversack was used in the Six Day War up to Lebanon 1982.
