DukeOfNachos Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Can a black series (once repainted/filled in) be used for a Shadow Scout? Link to comment
IcyTrooper[CMD-DL] Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 As long as it has all the aspects of the CRL covered I don't see why not, however, I don't think I've heard of anyone converting a Black Series helmet over for the shadow scout. However, that doesn't mean that it hasn't happened though. @RAIDER have you heard of anyone doing this? Link to comment
crazas[TX] Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I do have one, size is right, shape is correct. Need filling and sanding to close the battery cover (BTW the speaker system is pretty bad) and some other parts. I am going to replace the lens since your eyes will show on every single pic (even without flash) Other than that (and of course painting and adding decals) I think Hasbro did a very good job on this one. Anyone else who wants to share something about it? 1 1 Link to comment
DukeOfNachos Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Yeah I generally didn’t expect to use the speaker system for it, so filling/sanding around the compartment is no problem. How easy is it to remove the lens? Link to comment

I dont own one myself but assuming what’s said above is correct, it’s possible…the same way the Black Series TK helmet can pass for R1 style w all the necessary mods. If you’re shooting for specialist…just glancing at online pics, it looks like you might need to dremel out ear holes (cant tell if theyre open or not) as well as figure out how to swap the helmet bolts out. 2 Link to comment
DukeOfNachos Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Yeah after the personal trauma of getting my scout to lancer specifications , basic clearance will do fine That's just one less set of things I have to keep in the worry pipeline! 1 Link to comment
crazas[TX] Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 David is right, I forgot about the dremmel work, ear holes are filled and need to be cutted out Link to comment
DukeOfNachos Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 The ears would be a level 2 issue though, not basic right? I don't see 'open ears' on the CRL for basic. Link to comment
