That seems to match the picture on the SC website. It shouldn't be a problem for basic approval but if you're concerned it's never a bad idea to reach out to your GML. If you have your blaster I would recommend doing some test fits before you commit to glue or rivets for that part. You want a snug fit but not overly tight or loose.

Basically what you'll have to do is remove the decal and paint that area matte black to match the CRL picture. The snout itself is medium gray and the aerator is matte black. Snout greeblie is medium gray and the aerator portion is painted black. Snout recess is painted black.

Congrats Pathfinder! Well done!

Typically the glue is on the right and left sides of the visor material. You can also add a small bead at the top and bottom but not over the whole visor. Kayelbe is correct in saying that having a gap there helps minimize fogging.

I know Aradun has mentioned it but I want to add that I had a wire wrap for awhile and they are very heavy. They look good and are accurate but require some extra support. I used clips and two rare earth magnets sewn into my belt to keep it restrained. After dropping it several times and repairing it...several times I went back to a lighter TD tube. I'm not discouraging you whatsoever but just want to suggest that you add some additional support to your TD and belt to keep it in place.

Congrats Vanguard! Well done!

Congrats Pathfinder!

Congrats Pathfinder!

Melody @KOtrooper, Mickey @BikerScout007 can you help this trooper with the questions about the ab plate?

No you're not. That's what we're here for and Chopper is one of the best so you are in good hands! This from the guy that spent an evening in the ER getting stitches and trying to explain to the nice Doc that I sliced myself with an Exacto making boot cuts for my ROTJ Scout😂

I'm, sadly, going to have to drop out. My heart says yes but my budget says no.

Congrats Lancer!

Sounds like you're moving along fine. As you're heading back to the states this might be a good time to reach out to the local Garrison in the state where you're landing in. If it's Carolina it would be the Carolina Garrison here: http://www.carolinagarrison.net/ If somewhere else in the US you can find them on the map here and go directly to their site: https://www.501st.com/maps/imagemap-northamerica.php I wish you the safest of journey's as you move and please let us know if we can be of service to you!

Congrats Lancer! Well done!

Some folks also use a dremel tool to make the cuts and smooth them. Your cuts look fine and I also used an Exacto knife to do mine too. You're moving right along so keep up the great work!

MonCal is a good armor set so you won't go wrong there. My kit is a combination of SC and MonCal. The DL recently did a great video on getting started with your build. We're here to help you be successful so let us know if you need any help or have any questions.

What a great reference Chief! Thanks for doing this it's really going to be helpful!

Perfect. It's best to keep the same primers, paints, and clear coats the same formulation as we've seen, and made, our share of mistakes using different products for each step. Just remember to start the spray before and after you pass over your blaster and keep the coats light. Keep up the excellent work Avi!

So far so good Avi! Once your soft goods get in we'd love to see how it all fit together. Fitment is an on-going process with your armor and soft goods so we'll help you get squared away in no time.

I'd have to agree with Chopper. I'm in AZ and I've never had a need to add fans to my bucket as I get enough air with the ear holes and underneath the helmet.

Congrats Pathfinder!

Welcome to the Pathfinders Avi!

Congrats Vanguard!

Congrats Pathfinder! Well done!

Congrats Pathfinder! Your perseverance is amazing!
