Question Belgium pilot uniform

Simply put, what colours helmet, jacket, pants and boots. I plan to use Copper State Models British pilot #170 - it seems to be the most generic pilot available. TIA

Sadly, it is the sole representation that I've

Hope this is help.

Best regards from Belgium

Philippe
