I got some :shadow: from an ebay lot today, they didn't have the skull and cross bones on the helmet nor were the Wermacht wings painted. Are these replicas? I seem to remember a post on here about this befoe but I can't seem to find it!

Cheers

If the logo on the helmet is an all black triangle , more than likely they are the German releases.

Ah, scooby beat me to it! I'd be very keen to get hold of a Schwarzer Major if there's one in there.

Thanks Lads. Its just the black triangle. They were in a lot of UK series 2 stuff, no other German bits. Thanks for the links it adds another dimension to the AF story!

It's just a thought, but with a tiny bit of paint you could make a dead cool Shadow custom Squad Leader. The Kraken Wakes has been using this symbol to great effect on his customs, and I think you could easily paint it onto the black triangle - it's sticker #13 on the Roboskull sheet.

Cheers Baron,

I might give it a go this weekend. It looks easy enough to replicate! I've got plenty paint from my other hobby of building model planes! The anorak has many hoods!
