For the Tank and Militaria Lovers out there!!

Post by LUIS22 »

Hello Guys,

My passion for tanks started as a kid, I started building soldier figures in 1/32 scale from AIRFIX ;I then moved to AFV 135 scale any brand for the next 15 yrs ,,at 16 I bought a German M40 helmet in a flea market in Greece so I started collecting militaria too...I recently met a young fellow from Latvia he sold me a few relic helmets he found metal detecting in the Kurland pocket he did find also some other minor stuff:
