Can anyone tell me the name of this vest or/and links to detailed photo's ?

It is an SAS lt weight vest and was around from the 50's. It has the two "rubberised" pouches on the from attached to a lightweight mesh vest with an integral backpack usually although I have seen examples with this removed as I believe the Mc Nabb example would be.

the closest I saw to that vest came with the old 21st Century Scud Hunter figure. Granted it was all plastic w/ a mesh vest (no opening pouches), it was a pretty close recplica.

I thought the 21C SAS Scud Hunter came with an Arktis Chest Rig?
Nevertheless, I am also planning to make a B20 SAS... the reference picts are sooo hard to find

i think porkins is right the 21c figure came with a molded chest rig! i dont believe this assault vest exists in 1/6th form! however a customiser on the OSCF site did make his own but since the site had those problems the pics of the rig have gone.
anyway guys here are some sites that will hopefully help:

Look for postings by Arch13 - he doesn't seem to frequent here anymore but he made one up for an SAS Oman figure.

This thread goes into a bit of detail on not only the 'Pack, Combat, Lightweight' (as Mc Nab's vest was officially known as) but other aspects of Brit SF gear (note: free registration may be required)
