All, I uploaded some pictures of the watercolors done by Kim Song-hwan. You can see them here: www.flickr.com/photos/32077508@N06/sets/72157620877674170/Personally, I wouldn't mind doing NORK, if for no other reason that it'd be a fun impression to jury-rig for a summer event, and you could at least justify using an SKS. |

Cool find on the watercolors, there used to be a local oriental antique store w/ lots of Vietcong watercolors, I kick myself for not buying them out (of course the place was out of buisness nttie I went).
I notice that the shoulderboards are very prominent, also the helmet netting. I'm real curious about the packs, I don't think I'd seen that before.

Hello, I am from Kampfer's WW2 Nationalist Chinese group, and I live in Alexandria, VA, within walking distance from Full Metal Jacket. I am a long time reenactor, and I do many impressions. As far as Chinese uniforms from Korea, here I posted pics of three originals s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb191/hqcdr/Winget%20Korea/They were brought back by my friend's father, the late LtCol Kingston Winget, US Army. These were made from WW2 era materials. Even the Russian style shirt is cut from the same material. The uniform from Taiwan is a spot on. Dale from FMJ says it is a lot better than the HK Keith stuff he has. As far as source of information, I wouldn't trust anything but original photos and originals. Chinese art, to include movies, are not known for historical accuracy. |

Yes. Mid-war, he Russians sold the machinery for the Chinese to copy the Ppsh41 and Pps43... and purportedly gave the north Koreans SKSs. There are scattered reports of DPRK troops using them.

I found some good images of North Korean uniforms from the imperial war museum, hiki said they can be reproduced even the field cap. I'm trying to get more images. The Don Pratt museum at Fort Campbell, has a padded jacket from Korean War that is North Korean.

Hi Redbanner,
The Australian War Memorial have several specimens of NK tunics and trousers available on a search of their collection, including the ones the Osprey book's picture was based on. I hope those are of use to you!

From photographic evidence, there appears to be 2 different North Korean models. One style is a coat-type tunic not unlike a Japanese uniform, although I don't think they had lower pockets IIRC. The other model is very similar to the Soviet M-35 style gymnestroka (the pullover shirt with fold-down collar). They wore those shirts with tails tucked in. Quite often they would sew zig-zag loops across the chest and back to stick camouflage foliage into. They sewed them onto their soft caps as well.
