vonjet Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I have seen this kit online and wondered if it can be 501 approved and if anyone knows what size person it is made for. Also there is a kit on Etsy from 79Shadowland in Poland that I wasn't sure about and wondered if anyone here knows if that is a good kit. Thanks! Quote
spike Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I do a set, finished, for larger size guys an gals Quote
Chopper Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Many 501st scouts, big and small use the SC kit. There's not a whole lot of hard parts, so much of the fit comes from the soft goods. As he said, spike also makes a kit better suited for larger folks. As for the etsy kit, I took a look and I'd stay away. Quote
Hikuro1983 Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 mine is a SC kit, I'm 5'9 at 250 pounds, pretty big guy. I got it to work just fine. Quote
vonjet Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Im only 5'7" and 170lbs. I was going to print my armor using Mr Poopies stuff so I could customize it to my frame but that SC kit seems like a good deal. Quote
Chopper Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 At your size and weight SC will fit you just fine. Quote
vonjet Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Thanks! Do you know if that kit can meet 501 approval? Quote

It's not 100%, his instructions are a bit dated, for instance use 1 rivet on each end of your belt, not 2 like his instructions state. Also I believe some of his strapping is a bit off I can't remember which but I had to buy a couple different widths worth to get mine right. But all of that info you'll need is available here and on the CRL so pay attention to it. However the parts he gives you are acceptable. I do have a build thread present for my suit and there's several others doing SC's as well. Quote

As long as the parts are good I can make the details of the build work. Quote
