This Bash is meant to be like the Green Beret set, and the Marine Jungle Fighter set, leaning more towards the latter.

I like this bash a lot because reportedly many US Navy Seals preferred Levi's 501s to the standard issue trousers. Both for comfort, and to better hide their sound while wading through the water. I'm not sure if Hasbro would have picked up on this (or if this information was even available to the public in 1967), but it sure looks cool!

Forget the rest, Levis are the best!

Levi jeans are the best in the world, I've worn them since I was young, good reworking Smile

Here's some contextual photos for this bash.

A couple members on HQ were distressed at the lack of headgear in the set. I didn't include any because Navy Seals in Nam' tended to wear a boonie hat. Something Hasbro didn't make in the 60's.

They also wore some head bands and bandannas/do rags, in 1/6 scale they'd be just bits of cloth, so it would be unlikely that Hasbro would package such an item.

I tried to keep this 100% 60's-era Hasbro stuff, and I did. Smile

I can't imagine a watch cap would look out of place, but that's is creeping into the "Sabotage Card" territory with that. Wink

[QUOTE=Fightin' Irish]...I really like this bash - doesn't it look great on a card! I think I'd have felt a bit cheated without a hat of some kind though - it was always part of the excitement when getting a new uniform set. I get what you're saying though. Maybe the manual included with the set might have alluded to using a variety of existing headwear- or maybe even encouraging us to make our own do rags from scraps of cloth? ...[/QUOTE]


I think the latter of the two would be most plausible.

"With a grown-up's help, cut a piece of green, tan, or black cloth into a triangle that is..."

You get the idea. Very Happy

I changed the shirt out, and gave him a headband from my Cotswold "The Vet" (Rambo) set. https://actionmanmobileops.forumotion.co.uk/t7986-official-elite-brigade-uniform-the-vet
