Have to agree with everybody else, black helmets.
Top notch paint jobs.

Thanks!Yes theyre 28mm!
I thought the Brown Helmet/Kneelpads were the new ones,but they still seem to use the Black Gear?

They look ace. I think you've nailed the look. Here's some info that might help-

The airframe helmet is most common in the tan colour:

... but covers (most common), printing and re-painting lead to more variations:

The combat-pants come in stock sizes, with the multicam version having tan kneepads as standard, although I've seen these in green too (far less common and probabaly not stock):

I think your colourway is correct but, if anything, I'd lighten the tan helmet and kneepads a bit (lighter wash) because they are a very pale colour in real life. Having said that - this is modern stuff rather than historicals, so who's to say that your unit haven't purchased customised kit?
