Very nice hemet. I always thougt the Duperite was an Australian Paratroop helmet. I remember seeing Aussie para's with this helmet in a plane.

Have a look at this link! 1st Australian Parachute Battalion 1944 tunic

If you mean the rubberized jacket, pants and the bag, then yes I do. I haven't got around to photographing them yet

Chuck some pics up when you get a chance, I'd love to see them. A complete Aussie DR set up is something I don't have yet either.

Cheers Luke.

Ok Luke, I'll go on a hunt for them a bit later on with a bit of luck I'll find them. I haven't played with the set for years!
