British "OPFOR" Opposing Forces Helmet

Great theme! Another interesting page of military history! And - yes... NATO knew a lot about perversions! Russians did not think of such decisions. That Russian style was just too cool !!!

That new one (blue grey) is the same as mine inside....I’ve still not seen another like your other one

Thanks Ade I found the clips to be tricky to latch but with some patience i manage to fit a liner as intended ,i won't display like this though in case the short hooked sections under tension loose there elasticity.I recently spotted another Brit type identical to mine posted by a member of a FB group who picked his up around 20+ years ago at a vehicle show here in the UK and there were other examples for sale at the time ,the only difference was his had a star outline and hammer and sickle stencilled. I did wonder if it was worth trying to carefully remove the in fill paint job on mine as i imagine it would have the same stencil applied
