Where do you guys get your cloth regiment shoulder titles/arcs, and battalion badges? I'm looking for repro Beds' and Herts' Regiment insignia. I've tried looking on Replicaters, but their website is just so screwed up, anyone else having problems navigating?

Also, on another note, what do you guys think of me using a Mk5 British helmet? My thinking is that it's near identical to the Mk3 helmet except for the slightly different strap fixings/loop location (Mk4s being the same as Mk5s, just a brown painted version instead of the green like the Mk3s and Mk5s), and I know the Mk3 came about just in time for the D-Day landings. Is it passable for a late tommie loadout?

Yeah, already got an early 80s Mk5. With the DPM camo cover removed it is exactly the same as my Mk3 British Police helmet (except the obvious colour difference and the slightly further back strap loops). I think with a nice covering of netting it'll be okay. Any good places for helmet netting, too? :wink:
