    This is the M-42, after about five hours of paint stripping. Not a speck of yellow left. Except for some spots of rust, all of the original paint is intact. This helmet have never had a decal. I am really pleased with the result. I hope you like it.

    Looks good - how late a production is it?

    Thank's. I will try to check the batch number, regarding the year of manufacture. The liner band is dated 1943.

    Thanks guys. :cheers: It's allways nice to get some opinions, good or bad. The M-42 is a no decal Heer. The other helmet are allso finished, I have posted it in the KM section. It turned out to be a double decal KM reissue.

    out of curiousity what kind of stripper did you use on the helmet. Seems to have done an excellent job.

    I wonder why anybody went to the trouble of painting the inside yellow as well, rather than just the outside?

    Give a norwegian a paintbrush, and he will paint every inch. :cheeky:

    Hello Chris

    I used a comercial paintstripper called Reprin. It's like a gel. It allows you to remove one layer of paint, at the time.
