Many thanks in advance. -Javier If your talking about the Korean War helmet shells that started to be made again, then it was an Lighter OD with a sand like texure, for repaints, a variety of shades where used, a lot of darker shades, basically what ever was at hand. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/245894-korean-war-helmets/ http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/252927-187th-airborne-rct-m1c-jump-helmet/ http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/295123-m1-fixed-bail-wwii-field-repaint-or-korean-war-repaint/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Hazard Posted June 26, 2018 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2018 Thought it was NATO green for the 50's helmets, then lime green for Vietnam Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Hazard Posted June 28, 2018 Share #7 Posted June 28, 2018 Model shops should have them, you'll probably need a few bottles for a helmet Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
