Type 34 from Kerberos Panzer Jäger In the Kerberos Saga's parallel universe, the 101st Panzer Jäger Division used the full-body armor Type 34 during the battle of Stalingrad in 1942.
A more retro appearance logo has been developed for this episode of the Saga
Only the helmet has been built to scale 1:1 This armour named Wolfpelz is the very first type of Protect Gear. The helmet is directely insipred by two elements : The German WWI "Stahlhelm M16" with stirnpanzer front plate and medieval XVth Century Gothic armors with characteristic fluted surfaces.
The Gothic style from XVth Century is also very recognizable on the general design of the Protect Gear Type 34.

The original Type 34 armor was designed by Jun Suemi
Interesting fact : During the WWI, the German army produced from March 1916 till late 1918 various version of body armors called Grabenpanzers. No often used by the soldiers, we can consider them as "first real Protect Gears", and maybe a source of inspiration for Japanese designers of the Kerberos Saga.

StrayDog Mask Replica (probably custom) I really don't know if this mask is official one or not, but it's very close to the Buildup model. It has the interesting feature to having detachable glasses.
