I just did a quick image search and photos show Gen Schwartzkopf with both the solid black pin on badges, and the tan/black sew on badges. In both cases the tan/black US Army and name tapes. Theater commander's tend to get things even before the supply pogues.

Not a very good likeness of Adolph.  Unless you go back to just after WW1.  Not many pictures of him exist from then.

Oh... Ok, nice to know... I'm by far an expert with US uniforms :) 

Didn't have the black and sand badges back in the DBDU days... That came later with the DCUs... ( I think General Schwarzkoff got the first set of DCUs in the theater, lol...) On the "Chocolate Chips", all the stuff on the jacket was either black metal pin-on or OD/Black embroidered.. CIB, Jump Wings, AASSLT Wings, Name and US ARMY tapes, embroidered rank... Oh, you could BUY 'em from places like the US Cavalry Store, or Brigade Quartermasters, but they weren't in the PX or Clothing sales, and damned-sure not in the supply system or Saw-OOO-dee Arabia... Well, maybe some of Paki T-shirt guys had sand-colored tapes though... They had everything else we wore on our uniforms, even had our uniforms..

I understand the difficulties faced by your builder but really now we must change "Stormin Normans" last name to english on his uniform!



His name was spelled in English when he was a member of the US ARMY
This is how he spelled it when he was in the US ARIMY

But in all seriousness I agree, not bad, I really feel like he got the colors of the old chocolate chip BDUs looking good.
Some clean up on the raised detail and the transition of colors could be a little better.

The Saddam is a pretty good likeness.

 Not so with Hitler and Stormin' Norman.

Shouldn't that "riflebadge" (Forgot the real name of it..) be blue in the background, and the stars maybe silver, golden?

I'm all for history, I have a ton of WWII/nazi books in my room... but I cant see a use for the Hitler besides using him as target practice, or fun time with my dremel saw.

Origin all unknown and not a picture was provided for the resin kits - AI had to search for their pictures from the Net at his brother's house - his own has no land line. The quality of the kits is not so good:
