Finalizing the finishing touches on the impressions. Just waiting for some items from Sonia's, 82nd ABN SSI, our helmets from ATF, and the m1a1 thompson. Today, I was able to apply the camo on my 82nd ABN pathfinder impression.  I'm having a really bad feeling that maybe i selected the wrong shade of OD#3 for the jumpsuit. After wearing combat suspenders and pistol belts from HIKI and WPG, they seem to "pop-out" because of the color contrast. This basically means that maybe my jumpsuit is too dark or too green. If it is, then i'm f*cked because I had 4 jumpsuits made.  What do you guys think? |

otacon14th: yep. aside from the given that anything is possible in ww2 (there's even an 82nd trooper who wore an assault vest), i based this on a period photo. this is another reference:
