I am also studie the kriegsmarine helmets.Jagdpanther wrote:Do you mean the one on the picture below? If so, no, it is in standard RAL 7009 "Light Field Grey" / "Apple Green" (but the camera flash has made the colour look more like light grey). Yes, they were often hand repainted in various shades of grey (as you say, painting around the decals) for shipboard use - I have intended to do one like that, but haven't got around to it yet...Mooyman wrote:Did you used for that kriegsmarine helmet a ral7000 or 7001
Wich often painted on a(fieldgray) helmet around decal with a mild grey paint.
Here is a link to an original repainted one, what RAL colour do you think has been used here??: http://www.german-helmets.com/KM%20M193 ... PHOTOS.htm
I shall try 7000 or 7001........
Intersting KM helmet picture...does the flash fool me? or do i notice something blue-grey.
