Kerry is that the CDC Elbeco jumpsuit? Is all you had to do is make the mandarin collar?

[vonmoen[501st]]

Kerry, what Battalion patches are you referring to?

[lorddavids[TX]]

Anyone could suggest the comm link color?

 

[bensid39999[501st]]

Looks grey in the comics. I was thinking of getting the tk one and making the white parts metal grey.

PLEASE NOTE:

As written at the top of the first post, this topic is from January 2018 and is OUT OF DATE. 

To answer the question regarding the suit, no,  it is completely different.   The Army does not share components with the Navy other than the hat and in some cases boots.  

Here is the Imperial Army Purchase list
