I made some adjustments to this one.

He didn't ship with a breast eagle so I added one from DID's Axel. I didn't use them on either of Axel's smocks because they'd be covered up by the bandoliers, and hadn't realised they had tropical tan backing.

I also gave him Axel's spare helmet, boot knife and cuff titles (which need repositioning):

He's destined to stand with DID's Gran Sasso Otto Skorzeny, but there's a big difference between the Ujindou and DID interpretation of Luftwaffe tropical khakibraun:

I was thinking of mitigating the issue by putting a jump smock on him. However, I like the way he looks without the smock so searched for some justification for the difference... and found it in various places.

Apparently there were a number of colour variants for khakibraun, ranging from bright sand yellow to dark mustard and dark ochre.

Therefore both Ujindou and DID are correct.
