# I think they were showy and crap, and in many cases just looked pretty gay.
The actual combat uniforms were alright and just fairly standard green, but all the officer's wear just looked stupid.
WW2 RAF Blue on the other hand looked like they'd just wandered in from tea with vicar and was brilliant.

Haven't done watercolours in an age, never really liked them. I doubt I'm going to be drawing latex again anyway, unless someone commissions me to for either money or favours.

I like a good strong gouache, but that's just personal preference.

Having looked at what I assume is what you're talking about, the hat looks a bit baggy to me. www.diggerhistory.info/images/uniforms4/RAF01_small.jpg

I'll remember that your personal preference is for a strong gouaching, *tenuous joke*
