Wow !! Lots of work but it came out really nice. The shade of green looks like it needs more gray to it to match original Italian color.
But very good job !

Thank you David. I know that many people are not keen on restorations, but I think this was worth it. It's a piece of history that must not be destroyed. Yes, unfortunately Fosco has a very limited amount of colours available and I couldn't find a Ral code online to match it. I don't think that the colors available for German helmets, produced by Fosco, would match it. That is unless of course I decided to paint it as a desert camo which as far as I know that Germans and Italians used the same shade of color. Thanks for the comment once again.

Just for conversation...the Germans used any tan shades they could get hold of. Some believe the "pinkish tan" was actually captured British paint, a theory I don't believe in. But we see tropical tan camo helmets of many different shades & tints. The tan we see on German helmets from the "Italian theatre" have some brown mixed with the tan, giving them a darker, different look. Not sure if there is a "textbook" Italian tan or not. I think anything in that color would work
