MAKING THIS HELMET:

This helmet is a modified APH Naval helmet.  There are two versions:  The pilot helmet and the training helmet.


Here you see my original APH naval helmet being modified (back in 1997).  Essnetially this helmet is a slightly modified naval flight helmet.  I restored this mold in 2012 and created a thermal formed kit version. 

 One of the fiberglass castings from 1997, and the mold I created that produced the chinstrap and mohawk cap.
