2nd question - Harry posted up a pic to help me with the patch placements on the flak jacket. But as you can see, thats Drakes ie a marines, not aircrews?

but saw this pic of spunkmeyer - and it looks like a very simplified patch arrangement

have I got that right guys?

I'm not sure I've seen any of us lot dressed as a Dropship pilot with the flak vest, we just tend to wear the flightsuit, with helmet if available. 8)

But you're right, Spunkmeyer's flak vest does seem to have fewer patches on it.

I'm just busting your... chops my friend. :wink:

Granted this was 3 years ago in 2008, and it was the one and only time I wore my flightsuit with my vest. So I totally understand Steve not remembering. 8)

My vest isn't screen accurate to either Spunkmeyer's or Ferro's as I normally would wear it with my Phased-plasma Infantry Gunner uniform. The patches resemble Drake's configuration:

It does kind of look odd, me having two US Flags on my uniform in the first picture however. I don't know if the flags I purchased are the correct size, however they are 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/4 inches if you are wondering.

All the US flag patches should be the same size for all the movie costumes...my flag patch is the same size as Kev's as well so I'd say that's the size to shoot for.

Tony is your flag a silk screened accurate one? The reason I ask is that it would confirm the size.

The ones I have are embroidered (non accurate) patches I bought off ebay. I wasn't 100% sure if the size was accurate, however I figured these were definitely larger than the smaller, more common flag patch.
