That's a great display James ! So you have a NVA tankers helm ! Please post close up shots of it, including the interior.....I am most interested to see !
Prost ! Steve.

evening steve ,thanks for the vote of confidence on the growing display ,i hope i havent misled in any way the tanker helmet is soviet through and through ,i believe the nva version is identical apart from being plasticizied on the exterior ,

here's some more items ive picked up ,ive already posted these in tandem with my own thread but it might just reach other members this way ,back to the tanker helmet ,i would imagine soviet hardware was used untill the nva produced there own versions ,i know during the early stages of the berlin wall construction the border guards used the soviet ppsh sub machine gun untill issued with there version of the ak47 ,

heres an update of the fitted kit so far to my torso display ,i would do a full size display but my space is limited ,ive still got some way to go , and i will update as and when i can ,enjoy james

you need a proper dummy :-)
great stuff !

**James C** · 08-02-2013, 06:16 PM

thanks meyle ,i would buy a full size dummy but my restricted space dictates a halfsize /torso size display ,also im really not a fan of the dummy heads imo it totally detracts from where we should be looking ,its human nature to make eye contact ,thanks again james
