Japanese Type 90 Steel Helmet (Desert Tan) This is a custom molded headgear accessory in a Desert Tan (Sand) color, designed for minifigures. The design accurately replicates the Type 90 (Tetsu-bō) helmet, distinguishing itself with a high, rounded dome and a small, evenly flared rim.
Background: The Type 90 Helmet was the standard combat headgear for the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) and Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) landing forces during World War II. While the standard factory finish was often brown or green, this Desert Tan version represents helmets used in tropical environments, Pacific island campaigns, or those fitted with a tan canvas cover (tetsu-bo ooi) to blend into the sand and dry vegetation. In a LEGO diorama, this is a crucial piece for building a squad of Japanese soldiers defending an island outpost.
