chobbsy01 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm really new to all this modern stuff. Can someone run me through exactly what Yellowstar has on his lid and its purpose. Also, I see a lot of peoples glasses come with elsticated cord, do they come like this or are people modding them. Any other info on what you might find on a helmet greatly appreciated.

spetsnazdave87 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Night vision are PVS 15s. Â V lite on the side and Strobe on the back, and IR flag is for identification; in theatre it prevents your own team shooting you and allows them to see your location. Â Arc rails allow mounting of accessories like goggles, comms, cameras and lights etc. Â Modern helmet gear varies greatly from unit to unit and country to country. I myself am currently working on a Canadian sof kit, which generally seems to be much more pared down and 'bare bones'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 ...Also, I see a lot of peoples glasses come with elsticated cord, do they come like this or are people modding them.... Â Those Smith Boogie goggles come with a rubber strap, but they sell a shock cord/Velcro strap that includes posts for ARC rails. It looks like Yellowstar modded his straps a little.

Bucko Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Received my Airframe replica yesterday. I just threw some bits on there to make it a little less... naked looking. Plans for the future: - Manta Strobe replica - Another 2 V-Lites (red and green for left/right identification) - Comtac Arc Rail adaptors - Arc goggle adaptors for Boogie Regulator goggles - IR Italian flags - Team Wendy Epic Air pads - Team Wendy H-nape - VAS Shroud replica (anyone know where I can get one?) - NVD mount replica (not sure on type) - A-TACS NVD counterweight  I'm going to be working on a Multicam kit soon, so I'll pick up the Crye cover and start a build for that then too.  Without further ado, pictures:     Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chobbsy01 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for the info guys. greatly appreciated. Time to start searching I guess. Are there any recommended sites to go for for all the add ones or are there too many to list? Also is the quality of the repro gear ok? I've seen the price of the Team Wendy lids and they are a little on the steep side for me at the mo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

millest Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) hi folks, bought a fast ops helmet and noticed it has a nice moulding lump on the top, did anyone else have this problem? if so di you just sand it down then stick the velcro on or just stick it on? also with the goggle loops on the rail mounts how are you guys attaching the goggles? do you need to buy special straps or can the goggle straps be undone to slip on? looking at getting rails etc for my mich. sorry for the noobish questions. cheers Edited November 22, 2012 by millest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lightbulb Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Mine looked like this: Â Â I just just sprayed over it and stuck the velco over it. Pull the loose bit off. Don't see why you couldn't sand it or file it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gecko123 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Mine came with a moulding lump too. I just used some krylon to cover it and make the whole helmet less glossy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ctres94 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Any input on the regulators? I see reviews at both ends of the spectrum on them so I'd like to hear more. I am particularly concerned about fogging. Â I like the paint job but first spear covers are cool and you can always take it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
