I was given a mint German helmet by its liberator back in the late 50s. Having seen loads of war films (black and white) I knew that german helmets were black so repainted it black!! (That I was very young at the time is my excuse!). I now want to return it to something like its correct colour but can't remember what it was. I think its a 40 pattern. Would it have been field grey or green and would it have had a red oxide undercoat? Are there any accurate model paints I can use rather than mixing my own? Many thanks for any info that you experts can provide! Actually I feel better now, its true that confession is good for the soul! Dave
