The boy's Desert Loadout.

not sure of the suitability of him sewing on some badges though.

Nobody* is going to care that a child is wearing badges, particularly of an operation that ended 8 years ago 

* Or nobody who’s opinion counts

Badges are a bit of a topic in airsoft, but the issue is walting/making false claims.

Airsoft is a hobby/game that has a high level of dressing up - of which ‘realism’ is the justification for RIFs.

If people get too vocal about the dressing up part being ‘too realistic’ then they are also calling for the revocation of the skirmishers RIF Defence 

I had a lovely pair of very comfortable desert trousers and would often wear them in any environment.

Along with any shirt or temperate DOM shirt

I was often told how bad my ‘camouflage’ was and that I would stand out, and my response was about the level of effectiveness/ineffectiveness of a camouflage pattern on its own.  It was more dependent on what I was doing 

Later in the day I would get complimented on how well my desert legs disappeared against the ground (usually dirt) and my upper against bushes - Still a no from me, they couldn't see that I’ve disappeared if I’ve disappeared.  They could see me because I was running across the open ground 

Tell him to put his arm band on the right way up next time

 
I think you're right - it's only the operational specific badges that made me think; but as you said he's only a kid, so stolen valour isn't really a thing for him.
