Each, have a different square size mesh pattern from large squares to small squares. There is no consistantcy as to what was issued or worn during WW2.

I'd rather call the colour olive green. Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on June 09, 2006 05:59 pm

Also " Olive green " it's not a correct description. The green color of romanian helmets had some yellow mixed in. The Khaky color doesn't always involve brownish shade (only the polish one).

I think that RLM 62 is too brown and too light, it needs to be a bit greener and darker.

PS This is my opinion, but the color differs from computer to computer, only a real sample matched with a originally painted helmet would reveal the closest match (and outside on an sunny day).
