Note:
Could not find Flint’s beret flash, so I ordered the generic 7th SFG flash as a place holder until a better option becomes available
Flint’s rank is listed from E-6 through to WO-3 & WO-4. For consistency with other members who have done this costume, I went with the WO-4 rank
Looking good! I built a sunbow version based partial on the sideshow figure as well. If you have questions I’m happy to help.
My build is here: Sunbow Flint Build
Your thread was the first one I read when I started workshopping this project!
Progress on Flint’s shirt. Using the movie joe logo as a placeholder and basic shape/size to mock up the patch on the left sleeve
If you have an embroidery person in your area, I have the file I can send you for the SS Flint patch.
That would be awesome!

Sent. The file I sent you is for a Brother machine (.PES), but I can export it as any embroidery file you may need.
“Badges? Badges? We don’t need no stinking Badges!”
Oh wait, wrong forum - I think I have found the right size of master Jump wings (1.5 inch)
The OD/Tan Flag patch set is sized at 3 x 2 inch. Not sure if that’s standard, but it fits my shirt so it appears to be proportional.
The examples of issued flag patches in OD/Black appear to be too dark for this purpose. Given the mix of colours (including tan or coyote brown webbing) in this variant of Flint, I don’t think the od/tan patch will deter from the look
Excellent look! Just the rig left to go?
Work list:
2. pistol belt with cartridge loops (to be sourced or made)
3. w/NCO buckle (purchased, in transit)
4. shotgun harness and approx 30 x shells (materials acquired, to be assembled)
5. battle belt & pouches (to be sourced)
6. Pump action shotgun
Like the inherent differences between brands using the term ‘dark navy’ - tan, khaki, coyote brown and kangaroo appear to be interchangeable with little consistency.
Perhaps some light weathering will help tie the varieties together?
