You've completed your first full uniform, which is an outstanding achievement for a young collector. Still haven't managed it myself. And it looks like the whole ensemble is in fantastic shape. The whole set would look great on a mannequin, if you've got the space for one.

Im still on the look out for a mannequin to top it off, thanks!
I notice you even have the toothbrush which can be hard to find, well done on your assemblage.

Whateverits just an opinion.
Great group Travis, I'd look for an ammo pouch for the holster and hang the holster from the pouch.
Keep up the good work.
Something I missed before. One thing you could add would be a respirator and haversack. Every soldier would have carried one, officers included. Although it's important to note that the filters of British and Canadian masks of the period contain asbestos.

i Have both the the MKII lightweight and the older MkIII one with the hose, what one do you think would look better with it?
A Mk IV or Mk V respirator would be more suited to a WWII uniform, although the MkIII would be accurate as they were used in the pre- and early-war period. For a wartime-dated uniform, you'd probably want something like these:by CanadianTravis
They're cheap and easy to find. The British ones are visually identical to Canadian examples, so if you're struggling to find a Canadian-manufactured example a British mask and haversack would be indistinguishable once in place on the uniform.

Great set there I must say! I bet you have a pair of boots too?
