Great stuff.

I hold out hope that someday someone, perhaps you, will finally fill the void for a source Afrika Korps pith helmets. Though not popular attire with the troops, there are many photo examples of this headgear stowed on the exterior of panzers in the desert. I am certain DAK armour modelers would be jumping for joy if this particular gear became available.

Like this?

The M60 MG is nice.

These are excellent, well done. I like how you're doing more unusual weapons too. Thanks.

Third time trying to respond to the German tropical helmet render, but yes that is exactly it. The example has no seams on the crown nor the either side of the brim so that makes it the second pattern that appeared too late to be used in Africa.

No pics showing so added these from 44thCollectorsavenue.com

Deutsches Afrika Korps (DAK) 1st pattern pith helmet.

The crown and the brim are made of cork with khaki cloth covering. Nice red fabric lining and leather sweatband. Only a small part of the leather chinstrap remains. This helmet was manufactured by "Helmfabrik Keller & Co" of Oberleutensdorf.

Print on demand, but some I made available for digital purchase.

JackG · Oct 8, 2023

Excellent. Hope you can add the extra seam details plus the loop band at the rear. In the meantime will await official announcement of availability.

Test print M60 in 1/16, the bipod, feed tray, handle and sight are separate and adjustable, as the ammo belt (100 bullets per length):

Pith helmets have been worn by many nations' troops, even the North Vietnamese had their own version. If upended and soaked in a bucket of water, when worn, the head was kept cool in the heat as the water evaporated!

Hi
You mentioned that a ACW cannon was a WIP, will this be available in 1/24.

Also would be interested in Enfield model 1853, 2 band and 3 band rifles for the ACW.

You know you already have my vote for the Enfields.
Do you need reference material for anything ACW?

Hi, Rick, many thanks! Do you have any reference of Napoleon 12-pounder? It is almost ready, but I have to check some details.
Enfield is next on the list.

Regards!
