Well my order came from hobbylandinc.com on friday.Tamiyas M1025 Humvee armament carrier and it really looks like one helluva kit i was a little surprised by the vinyl wheels but i'm pleased nontheless.Wich brings me to Dragons British infantry Normandy 1944 iwas very pleased with this set ,lots of extra bits (helmets with and without camo two types of Sten). This brings me to the next kit Dragon 2nd S.A.S.regiment France 1944 now i really like the figures in this set .The berets have to be glued on and in one case so does the hood and collar but i like the fact that we now have British soldiers with jackets on.Now if Dragon would only make a set with greatcoats on for the winter.The only thing that i did'nt like about the set were the U.S. weapons to me the Thompson did'nt look right and there was something the carbine that seemed off but i'm no expert.

Francois,
The only difference between Canadian and British made Battle Dress Uniforms is the Canadian pattern was a little thicker in weight of material, it had a "fuller" cut to it (wider sleeves and trouser legs etc. but in 1/35 scale will be impossible to tell) and generally was a Greener color than the British which tended to be more Brown. British BD changed as the war went on. The 37 pattern had hidden buttons and pleated pockets and cuffs. The 1940 pattern dispensed with the pleats and hidden button fly. The trousers changed by simplifying the pockets and the cuff tab detail, but with gaiters on it was unnoticeable. The Canadian pattern retained the pleated pockets for another year or so and then they started to disappear.
Now for the wrench in the works. Many British soldiers preferred the canadian pattern due to its fuller cut and heavier material and tried everything to get a set, especially for their "Walking Out" uniform. Even members of Guards Units (2nd Welch Guards for example) wore the Canadian pattern.
Osprey's book British Battle Dress and Mike Chappels book series The British Soldier in the 20th Centry are great refrences. I have 3 or 4 sets of British and 1or 2 of Canadian Battle Dress (I can't remember everything I have but it fills a whole closet) and the color ranges will blow your mind! HTH. (:-)

I also believe the Canadian uniforms were better quality as well. (:-) (:-) (:-) (:-) (:-) (:-)
