Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this.

I am checking MiniArt's recent set ( http://armorama.kitmaker.net/review/13595 ).

And I am a bit confused by the 2 different helmets...are these really different or the same but the smaller one is missing an outer layer (just wondering... ).

If somebody could name me these it would be great.

Many thanks,

Adam

Hi,
there is a new helmet in use. It seems that it is used in the new vehicles like the PUMA or GTK BOXER. Other vehicles still use the "old" black one.

H.P.,
your second photo looks like it could possibly be a DH-132 CVC without the outer shell https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Military-Issue-Combat-Vehicle-Crewman-CVC-DH-132A-Helmet-Headset-Liner-Bose-L/312052703988?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D49893%26meid%3D4374e743152b4b72ad979162cd191054%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D253213911125%26itm%3D312052703988&_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850

You may be right Sean...I've found more DH-132 inner liner pics that seem to be a good match :

It's a new one, called Bose Panzerhaube. Saw pictures in the Tankograd Book in use on a Leo 2A7.

Thank you all for the feedback.

Which one would be used more in Afghanistan?

Cheers,

Adam

Here you will find a German review of the Miniart Set with images of the real headsets and her using. Maybe it helps...
