Hello all,

I have 2 hornet head sets and am wondering which one (or both) is correct for the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, I can't find any clarification online as to when the 'postwar' variety actually came into use.
So I have:

HRH04, Soviet style post war tank crew helmets:

and:

HRH05, Soviet WW2 soft tanker helmets:

I appreciate any guidance as to which is more historically accurate.
Thanks very much!

Hi

Try to look here

1952 TANK HELMET

Hi Mauro,

Thanks very much, that's a very useful site.

It looks like the hornet heads with postwar helmets are slightly too late but I can probably fix that by replacing the two central padded strips on the helmet with a single one which would be fairly close.
The ww2 one's are far too early really.

Thanks again!

James
