Staff sgts? Wrong nation I'm afraid old chap, I believe you mean Colour Sergeants.  ;)
No. British Army has staff Sergeants. 3 chevrons with a crown.
But I don't know when they were introduced.
Just did a Wikipedia check. Staff Sergeants are the same as Colour sergeants. Might depend on the corps/ Regiment as to what they're called.

Infantry have Colour Sergeants, Corps and Cavalry have Staff Sergeants, but there oddball exceptions like The Household Cavalry (Staff Corporal) and The Rifles (Colour Serjeants)

So anyway.
My point is maybe I want a cpl or a colour Sgt, or even an RSM, if you've got sculpted on chevrons it gets a bit tricky doesn't it?

Or the chevrons for the highest rank of NCO could be sculpted and the consumer could take his hobby knife and remove the excess parts to make, lets say, a corporal. How's that for lateral thinking.
Either way, I'm disappointed in the product. I've taken the advice given and ordered some 2mm Tamiya tape and in a couple of weeks I should have some time to use it as directed and I'll report my experience. Thank you all for your input. Happy Easter! He is risen!

"Sergeant!"

"Sir"

"Lose the rank chevrons, marks you out to the snipers, there's a good chap."

"Sir?"


BANG!!!

"Aaargh!"

"Bugger... too late!!!"


 :'(

...."Smith - consider yourself promoted to sergeant"

"Yes sir, thank you sir"

"You'll need to get the chevrons off Putney there until we get back to base"

"Yes sir, thank you sir.....I'll look for a needle and thread after sorting out the firing line sir"

Alright! I got the 2mm Tamiya tape so on Sunday I'll be trying out the chevron-with-tape concept, keep your fingers crossed!
