Hi Gents
thank you for your posts, I think I will buy a liner for my Fallschirmjäger Stahlhelm, I find these are cheap and realistic.
Cheers and thank you all!

Just to add to this post I placed an order for tunic and bits from Hiki earlier this week and had good communications about combined shipping details etc so Hiki still appears to be in business - hopefully... :oops:

Yes you do, some of his stuff isn't bad at all. Some of it, is utter crap. I'd throw the FJ helmet liner into the crap bin myself.

The only liner I can recommend is an FJ-Werke one. It is excellent. Cheap however they aren't.

The HIKI one will look fine if your really, REALLY weather it up to give it a HEAVY field worn look...

Yes Selective is the word

But I tend to buy some field gear (Mess Tins and Bread bags etc) from him sometimes
But I woud stay away from the Uniforms.

I did by those goggles on his site when they were first released and there great. But he never restocked them like other products have been out of stock for a long time.

Hi all
actually HI-KI is still in a lot, lot, loooot of businness.
I ordered from him the M38 liner and it came in 10 days from Hong Kong to Italy.
It is not so bad, of course it needs to be weathered, but I like it.
When FJ-Werke will sell its liners at a reasonable price I will be glad to buy from them.

Thank you for reading
Cheers
