    That's rather a nice little kit Lee. I built it a few years ago and I have just bought the kit again. Although it says that it clicks together I did glue it.

                    Ok I’ve been searching and rattling my brain out on what color were the British Anti Aircraft uniforms. I always try to do my homework before asking a question but I’m stumped on this one. Was they the color on the box art or blue? I would like to be period correct if possible for the Battle of Britain. Thanks for the help in advance.

                      As far as I can see Lee Army crews wore standard army battle dress, and RAF crews wore standard RAF battle dress. So it’s brown or blue depending upon the arm of service…. As to BoB, it again depends on the arm of service. Some of the auxiliary units put together in haste during BoB would probably use WW1 uniforms, rather like the home guard, especially just after Dunkirk, when anything that could be used was used. The colour of the battle dress would then tend towards green rather than brown.
