Denny
US Officers shirt underneath (wool)
I would imagine some sort of tee-shirt underneath to soak up the sweat.
US M43 Paratrooper Trousers
Corcoran Para boots
Brit Airborne helmet (Has anyone tried putting another net over the burlap on their helmet? Looks really good and well broken up)
Brit scrim scarf
Lightweight rig with small pack
Brit commando Bergan
Thompson

Brit mountain cap*
Windproof smock*
Wool jumper
German wool shirt
Civy wool trousers
German gaiters (although I'm tempted just to go with string :giggle: )
German tropical boots
Belt order
Swedish backpack
MP44- with some customisation.

* When they show up from SoF. Smock is the tan version (as it was alot cheaper) so I plan to do my own custom camo job on it since it looks quite light in colour.

My aim is to look like a civilian if I remove my webbing, smock, cap & gaiters as a real Jed might have done.

If all else fails lardy, you're more than welcome to borrow my Belg Denny which the camo on is fairly good.

Cheers. I'm not worried about the camo, just about the kit turning up. SoF haven't been too bad the past couple of times I've used them though. I originally planned to get the cap & smock from elsewhere but both had dropped in price on SoF so I couldn't resist.

So did the Brits supply the froggies with steel helmets as well as guns and battledress?

I'm trying to find a valid reason for wearing my MK2 infantry lid rather than the airborne one. It's almost half the weight and I can easily carry it outside the Bergen.

No need for helmets chaps. They were ditched straight after the jump and regular hats (beret, hbt cap) were used.

It's one of Pete's and Stu's fibre glass jobbies, so weighs very little anyway. Better for camouflage than a jeep cap too

But how are you going to carry it when the rain stops and it's baking hot? I've given up trying to find a way to cart around 1.5 kilos of bulky and annoyingly shaped steel :evil:

As soon as we get our Jedset Team Frederick will be radioing a request for umbrellas and straw boaters to be included in the next drop. With our burnt cork and civvie knitwear we should look a little like this:

Try as I might, I just can't resist referring to us as "team Friedrich"! Maybe it'll confuse the Jerries, too. :wink:
