That's a very nice WWII loadout. Job well done mate. I am impressed.

Picked up some battle dress pants, the P37 small pack, rain cape/ groundsheet, E-tool and cover and solid pattern water bottle carrier plus shoulder strap. Underneath is a repro long sleeve three button shirt and braces. All I need now is a decent rendition of ammo boots, some helmet scrim and minor trimmings and my impression is set for Jump To Destiny!

The Paras were not issued M1A1 Thompsons (I've heard this debated but never seen a pic of a Para with one. Some units like Commandos definitely were.) but considering that the Sten AEG is still an unobtainable unicorn it is the most affordable alternative at the moment. I am going to do a US impression next so a Thompson will work for both.
