    I ordered decals and apple green can paint from DDay1944. They couldnt ship spray paint to my country, so I had to buy the can version and take it to a paint shop to have them bottled to a spray bottles (2). I have painted the helmet and will upload pictures when I get to photograph the helmet.

    Looking nice!
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    I applied Bigfoot Quist decal. I did the mistake of letting some of the glue dry in the paint outside the decal. I'll try to remove it somehow later.

    Im still waiting for good repro liners and straps to come available. European stores seem to have been out of them for a long time.

    I have a question. Is this the correct type of colour for apple green? Most pictures of new and old original apple green helmets are not matte at all and this one is very matte.
