I've split it into this new topic as I think some talk and pictures about DAK Helmet cam paint is well overdue

Cool pics!! Any camo ones??? I havent found any camo piccies of helmets anywhere...only WW1 ones! Eeep!!! Awesome pics though Andy! I was hoping to see some pics of the hand painted camo they did to break up the helmet outline a little more...similar to what you did on your DAK helmet... |

My DAK helmet wasn't camo, it just had big reddish brown splotches to represent rust and dirt. There where no Camo helmets in North Africa so to speak, just plain yellow/sand colour. Andy. |

Tea is supposed to be really good at making bandages look old. Feild grey helmets were very common in Africa though so if you can't get the desired effect and don't want to paint the Helmet, leaving it green is very acceptable. Andy. |
