Here's some helmets used by early OPFOR Forces. First up, 1950's type plastic cover. These are altered WW2 liners with a strap from a M1910 or M1924 haversack for a chinstrap. The cover is a plastic like children's halloween masks are made of. It is orange and has been painted gray. The old green and white OPFOR logo is hand painted on both sides.

Re: OPFOR Helmets
Cool! I never seen OPFOR type helmets before. I think first one is VERY WEIRD.
