Just a 'technical point' that I need to point out is that the RAR is infantry,
and only cavalry Regiments wear emu feathers in their hats.

Nice looking service dress, but the feathers need to be removed.

Hi John,

Thank you for the correction. What would be a correct unit designation for the figures with the emu feathers? Armored Cavalry Regiment? Light Horse Regiment? I checked out the Hiriart 2006 Spanish language catalogo which describes the RAR headgear as follows: "Sombrero (wide awake) australiano con in ala plegada y pluma verde." In short, a Australian style hat folded on one side with a green plume. No emu feathers.
