Hello every-one,
I wonder if you can help me , do the Israeli tankers wear American helmets as well ?
It looks like they do , but I'd like to be sure before I use one on a figure .
The figure I have does not have much facial definition and I have some Hornet heads which do ( American tanker heads ).
Thanks for looking.

Johm,

As paul stated, it changed over time. Early in thier life, the IDF tankers wore US tanker's helmets. But I have seen some pics of the Six day War and the Yom Kippur War where IDF Tankers were wearing US style and Soviet style head gear.
