At the end of my operational tour, the rest of the team / department to which I was attached presented me with a figurine representing a soldier from the British Contingent.  The figurine was supplied in a cardboard, tubular, transit case which had the following decals attached.
The dimensions of the tube are: 205mm high x 115mm diameter.
The figure stood approx 185mm tall, with a standard issue bergen (less side pouches) leaning against his right leg. The figure is carrying an SA80 rifle and SUSAT in his left hand. The jacket could be a "Para Smock", there is a brazzard on the right shoulder sporting a Union Flag at the top, and SFOR patch below. In addition, the webbing is a "belt kit" rather than standard PLCE (no Yoke assembly), the figure is also wearing a "chest rig". The belt kit has an American style water bottle on the left buttock.
