TK7892 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 This is a WTF kit and my first Scout helmet. This one was a doozy. Thoughts, comments? pics: https://imgur.com/a/J1zZeGs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Hi Logan, of all the available helmets, the WTF is probably the most difficult to assemble, so congrats on completing the build! One tip -- I would try and clean up a few uneven spots on the helmet with a file or emory board. Mostly around the visor and top of the eyeslot. See where I've marked in green. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried about trimming the visor lip too thin but now that It is painted and weathered, it is easier to see where I need to shave off a little.

MikerScout Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I used an extra large "emery board" for nails to do my finish smoothing. The long wide board helps fair out the abnormalities in the edge. Its also more forgiving than a dremel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
