    For those interested in the Battle of Gembloux, this is how a French tank commander looked like.

    I'm trying to complete a mannequin which is hard to get, but I got both master pieces already: The M-1935 artillery model tank crew helmet and the leather jacket.

    The leather jacket was recycled after the war , so I need to remove the color tabs (fireman brigade) and sew some new buttons too, but it is the original two rank buttons jacket. Now I will try to ge the trousers + boots. :)
