Desert Rats Somewhere in Egypt | Armorama™

For once blokes I won’t start on about the webbing - it’s just too wearing. However, please note the use of the short puttees; they are always wrapped around thus (ie the “point” is towards the rear and the excess tape is tucked in to effect a small “square”):

Trust me, they are always worn like this – and were in use up until at least the late 80s until the high combat boot came in.

The boots’ colour is correct for the officers – brown, but should be black for the soldier.

I am not criticising the paint finish and overall portrayal, but as ever, attention to detail folks!
