Looking for something else on Ebay, I saw a fiberglass Scout helmet the claims to be accurate & light- designed for 501st trooping by 501st members http://m.ebay.com/itm/181671489920?nav=SEARCH Is that a good one or junk, like most Ebay stuff? If good, I may be looking at a Shadow Scout before I do the standard Tie pilot kit. If good, that looks like something I would be interested in, along with SC hard bits

You inspire me!!!

Hanging out on here makes me want to get a Shadow Scout kit BEFORE I get the standard TIE kit (whether I get Targ's chestbox/armour or get the TA one ... As I'm interested in a weathered/used Scout, any tips on getting a grade SC kit? I might be able to pull that off better than an A quality.

There is a Stealth Pilot in 1 episode- the one with the vanishing ship. I'm lookig into that one resdy. I need a base-helmet, as my skills are not good enough to scratch one. Some ARF clone armour may be a decent base- with a chopped down chest & backplate & helmet. I need to look at the shoulders closer. The best image I've found is in the DK CW vehicle cross section book. That would be a CX, correct or am I mistaken? there may be a soft white obe of the sameshape, but I need to look closer for thd proper context. Most CW pilots are armoured, plus a chest box & tubes. There are at least 4-5 helmet shapes Based on the teasers, I am expecting a Spec Ops pilot in Episode 7- esp with the supposed spec ops TIE. My "custom" plan is a blacked out 181st kit- with a different, larger coverage vest- closer to actual flak jackets, not the present British pressure suit design (same as x-wing pilots).

Thanks.

This is a request for those with large libraries & knowledge of the SW EU ... Are there any references for Spec Ops pilot crew? I'm doing the 181st Fighter Group kit & would love to extend to spec ops. But, my main interest is in aviation, real world & in the SW universe. As a custom, I can make logical extensions of the SW universe, linked with real-world references, to make "should be just off screen" stuff. Heck, in my head I am working out arge, complex, in-universe-accurate spec ops aviation stuff including a Sentinel gunship, derived for the AC-130, called "Hot Rain." Plus, wings squadrons, & an updated TIE Scout- developed as an extension of TIE a Adv X1 tech. Once I get my 181st approved, I will publish an "eve of Endor" detailing of all that But, what I am wondering is: Is there ANY reference in published works to an Empire era Spec Ops pilot?
