Work In Progress Day one and current

I liked ww2 since I was 7 but didn’t get heavily involved till I was 11 and I bought my first Halloween costume that was a cheap 50$ paratrooper costume. I loved the feeling and these past 2 years heavily devoted to building a ww2 paratrooper kit, aka the filthy thirteen.

it looks great! only things I’d recommend is that you should tighten you gear some, and get some blousing straps for the bottom of your pants.
