Timothy, what's that helmet cover in the first photo? (mannequin in the dot 44 camo) It looks like US frogskin/ duckhunter.
It's a old George Petersen Ntl Cap Sales late 70's repo It is one of the later oak leaf pln tree pattern he made up it doesn't show up much in the picture but the oak leaves are faded the spots do show up more has some of the pinkish/purple background still in it. Later war 5/6 maybe I have forgotton my ss patterns the fall side is really faded and has a few holes it came with a parts face veil that is on the other Mannequin I think the only thing real on them were the head strap. timothyby Anderson

British Paratrooper circa 1945.
He wears:
1942 Dated Australian made BD trousers and blouse
1945 Dated boots
1945 Dated Denison smock
1944 Dated beret
1943 Dated helmet
Toggle rope and camo veil
The webbing is a variety of dates. Not shown but worn at the rear are water bottle, helve and lightweight gas mask. His pouches contain spare Bren magazines and No.69 grenade
He is armed with a third pattern FS knife with the scabbard held in a bayonet frog and a Sten MkV.
The beret has never had a badge attached. There are period photos to show that this was sometimes the case so I have left it without a badge

Excellent work! I love the dirty face, 5 o'clock shadow and abrasions. Really giving some life to the mannequin, got that war weary look perfectly.
Very nice
