Yes I've made one with British DPM. I made it as a 'standard kilt more or less as you say with 1 inch revealed and 3 inch hidden. I didn't sew the pleat in at the back and they work just fine. I did use wonder web on the pleat at the edge of the top apron and the next pleat along on both sides.
BTB I used a pocket of a pair of combat trousers as a 'sewn on sporran' and the waist adjusting tabs and buttons from the trousers instead of buckles.
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
