nice work, im still thinking on what to do on my fj helmet. I always say keep it simple but I'm a fan of the tan camo look because it works for all ETO theaters   |

Started off as a black painted repro helmet. Repainted in Field bluegray (Tamiya XF50) then clear matt coated after the decals were applied. A light coat of panzer tan with olive camo were applied and weathered. US$50 for the repro helmet including decals. I now have an Afrika/Italian campaign Falschirmjager helmet with old style pins  |

The boggies look sparse on that design ja! sir kalbs, its the E-50 standard panzer intended to replace the panther tank or panther F and panther2... the size is almost the same with the kingtiger but the engine is much powerful. the suspencion looks odd but i think its more like a porshe inspired. the turm is the schmallturm that can adopt 2 kinds of gun in diffrnt caliber which i dont have the info. actualy for me its a slick design and its like a panther tank in steroids. ;D |
