Anyone know what aussie SASR and the parachute battalion (can't remeber which natt of RAR it was...) would have been wearing in the 90ies? I have an M16A2/203 and wouldint mind getting some auscam shit one of these days...
the parachute battalion is (currently) 3 RAR...
Early 90's we were wearing DPCU already, albeit a slightly different version...which is pretty much obsolete now so you won't have much chance
Your best bet to emulate early 90's would be a fairly faded set of DPCUs, as well as Khaki combat boots (affectionately called "poo" boots because of their unique colour) - they are essentially the standard GP boots of the Vietnam era, but they are made with a light khaki leather.
