Here’s one for you - It’s had the rear tapes changed to a full back (common modification). And a pair of packeted goggles.
Items for this set are rare and very expensive.
I’ve had this one since 04 and just discovered this reel of thread in a pocket!!!!!
Make that two reels:D
I have been lurking here for a while, time to get involved. Excuse the cell phone photos…
First up is a new to me SD M40 (Q62 lot#DK337), liner band is intact, leather long gone. Band is too tight for me to see what the date is. Chinstrap with faint RBN# is present. The decal is my issue. I cannot tell if it is a toned heer or KM decal. Opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

- Is it possible to buy new vent rivets? They are not in the best condition.
- I will make a "East Front camo" helmet. What will be the right choice of color for the base layer? Feldgrau No.2 or other? I will give the base layer structure with aluminum oxide.
- I could also need some help with the camo colors. Is it a "free for all" or is there some standard colors for this. I hope to get some names, then i will find the RAL numbers myself.
Here is some pics of the very beginning. I will update as often as i can. There is quite a lot of filler on the helmet, but this filler is fast reacting. I only have about 3-4 minutes to work with it. Lots of sanding to do.
Now it just needs a good coat of paint
