Please help. A few years ago I missed a chance to buy the DML 1/35 Canadian Infantry. Now DML offer a British Commonwealth Infantry. I wonder what minor work I have to do to convert them to Canadian troops. Actually I don’t know the difference between the regular British Infantry uniform and Canadian Infantry uniform. I may also do the similar convertion on Tamiya British Infantry. Finally (hope you don’t mine too many questions [:D]) to convert Tamiya 1/35 Universal Carrier to Canadian, beside decals, is there any more extra work need? Thanks you so much folks.
i got the dragon 1/35 canadian infintry off of ebay a while back. they are the same as the dragon 1/35 common wealth infintry, it seems they have just changed the title on the box because the box art is the same. from what it looks like the canadian infintry had the same uniforms and equipment as the british.

The only difference would be the shoulder flashes.
