Please Canuck, not THESE (http://bcoy1cpb.pacdat.net/Bradbrooke__Griffin.jpg) helmets!!!!! lol
Seriously though this set is looking very nice, I agree with you much better then v1.
I would like to request though that you try a set with no camo though. I will attach the link to a reenactors gear list with pics that has 2 examples of what I mean near the bottom. LINK (http://users.eastlink.ca/~bsmills/EQUIPMENT/body_equipment.html)
Also one question on the patches (I am far from an expert on the Cdn Para Bn.'s), did they wear those patches in combat? I notice in the above link that they are not on any of the examples of combat uniforms, and I was under the impression that they used the green Airborne/Canada patch. (bottom one here (http://casftitle.freehosting.net/cgi-bin/i/airbo.jpg).)
Either way, you set is looking really great. Got me a fresh case of Sleeman's, and I'm off to check 'em out.

Not sure if they worn the Pegasus patch but I am almost positive they wore their unit ensignia, ei, the one above the blue horse..:)
I will try to get the proper MK jump helmets...

I can change the arm patch, but find me a pic please, so I can be sure,...

Pegasus was 6th Airborne. Is it me or are those berets a little...small, other than that it's good but it's been bothering me a bit.
Thank you brother, looking forward to the helmet ones.

Canadian 1st Para used a blue Pegasus, and 3rd Para used a silver/white one. They were part of the 6th Airborne Div.

Damn good work. The face paint looks like something and indian would wear, but I'm sure you got a good reason for it and it's authentic. Again, good work!

These are great, I've replaced my own custom brits with these. One thing though, you need to include the models for when the hats fly off.
