I wasn't sure how to solve the problem of grey-blue uniforms for the Camel Corps, so here are two different versions:

I like the lower ones... The darker blue is nice.
But I don't know what they would have looked like in period. ???

Great job, they are magnificent! :)

Nice customs, Ralf!  I personally prefer the lighter tunics, as they are more subdued and not quite so bright, but both look good.

I prefer the more faded pale blue...that grey-blue as far as I'm concerned  :)
beautiful!  :-*

p.s. can anyone identify the original klickies with the pale blue and the strong blue torsos?

@cheng: pale-blue - someone working for customs at the airport (after rubbing away his tie), strong blue - old police officer (probably late 1980s)

Some naval and Sudanese troops.

To the camel corps tunic: I have read it was a light gray blue, so the former variant seems more suitable for me although the pockets of the darker ones are nicer. Another advantage of the first variant is that they do not have to wear white gloves. I am not sure if such gloves were used or not but I rather imagine them without gloves, at least bright white ones.

I like the last set especially.
@ cheng: as the Sudanese are for the later Kitchner campaign they are out of my focus

But HOW could geobra design all these great new torsos with such misplaced pockets :-P?

Thanks for building this theme

@ geobra: Thanks a lot!!! :-)

BTW, to my own great delight I found out today that www.britishbattles.com has finally added a section about the egypt and sudan campaign and a few new pages about other campaigns.

I like the version with the light blue bodys more. Good work.

Probably the last set I had in mind for that theme. A few lancers.
