FW-190 Armoured Headrest for review

[Sergey65]

Hi guys,

this find was on Kuban. From April to June 1943, a series of large-scale air battles of Soviet air force with the Luftwaffe took place there.
Judging by the caliber of holes, shots were fired from an 'ВЯ-23' aircraft cannon.
This cannon was mounted on the IL-2.

Thanks for looking,
Sergey

Oh yeah. Weight 12 kg, thickness of armor 12 mm.

I have one more. He was found in the field of fighting on the 'Kursk Bulge'. I restored him.

So he looked before restoration.
