I've just put my first proper WW2 kit together after years of spending all my money on guns instead... I went for a British Commando look mostly because... Well I'll be honest, it was the cheapest. And having just mostly drained my funds getting the new Northeast Sten MkV, it needed to be!
It considerably helped cost wise that I already had the bergen, scarf, and got the boots off my dad, from his time in the navy.
I will be replacing those ill-fitting gaiters as soon as possible.
For a more early war look, removed the scarf and grabed the M1928. Now I've just got to get to a game in it!
