Hi!
After some years in boxes I thought it was time to put "Heinz" together again.
Just bought a house and got my own room so building the man cave can finally start..

Cheers!

Swp yes

Thanks for the comments.
Yes it is. My favorite. Did not know which one to put on. I got fullback kapok, halfback kapok, B1, B2 but think the swp looks best.

Loving that watch! super cool

[Wilhelm]

Very nice Flieger! Love the birdy too.

Great Beobachter But I think the SWP would be better blend in with the LKpW-100.

Thanks for showing,
Sergey

Face mask suggest open cockpit and in that conditions I would better put an Auer 295 goggles with chinstrap instead the N&G that would be blown away by simply turn the head

Hence the chin strap for the early 295 goggles ..

Nice mannequin !

Hallo, Du hast doch so viele schöne Dinge in Deiner Sammlung. Warum also so ein Durcheinander von frühen und späten Stücken. Wolltest Du uns auf die Probe stellen?

Gruss

Hi, you have so many beautiful things in your collection. Why so a jumble of early and late pieces. Did you put us to the test?

Greeting

Update

He he thanks for the replies.
I will update the display. It was a quick set up yesterday evening. Plan to have everything on display shortly. Agree on the swp and w100.
One question about the face mask. Any period pictures? Only used in open cockpit planes?

The face mask, apparently, was used in open planes in the early years.
I've only seen one pic, if I can find it, I'll post it here.

... but I've also seen pics where these masks were used on motorcycles in Russia, anything was used to protect agains cold.
